To be honest, this is just sad, I understand the Russians have a point, these areas/countries have been close but under Soviet times populations were moved around so the Crimea has a large number of Russian speakers. I'd just give Crimea some form of regional autonomy like we have for Wales, N Ireland and Scotland... or any of the 50 states in America... to govern themselves locally... but this is Ukraine and Russia, the top officials would be corrupt as hell.

as for nuclear war
