My real point is: The United States has no reason to stick it's nose in there.
We run around commanding other countries to do what we say:
Whether it's causing problems in South America, Asia, The Middle East, or now Russia...the U.S. federal govt. has made us the most hated nation in the world.  |
You didn't see me say that I thought we should stick our nose in there.. I said that Iraq and Ukraine are two different things and are no way the same. We are not controlling Iraq.. We have some input but it's about it, the Iraqis are able to say fuck you if they like. It might mean we stop giving them aide but we aren't gonna take their country away.
Russia isn't going to occupy Crimea for a few years and hand it over, they stole part of a sovereign govt's land and they aren't about to turn it back over.. Ask Chechnya how that is working out for them.. Russia isn't gonna hold a open vote and allow them to do what they want? Yea....when far Russian women fly...
Also Crimera was actually part of the Ottoman Empire.. It's not like it's always been Russian...
