Thread: Crimea joining the Russian Federation and its implications?

One comment on that referendum:

Options seem to be:

Join Russian Federation
Stay in Ukraine

Wouldn't it be good to have an option for "Independence", or "Wait and decide later" or something?

Or do you think it's better to just be done with it and get a clear yes or no.

That's wrong information.
The second question is "Crimea gets back to the Constitution of 1992". In fact, it's kinda independence. Ukrainian Nazis (under second president of Ukraine, mr. Kuchma) trampled Crimea's law and the Constitution of 1992 was abrogated. Also, Ukrainian Government ignored results of the referendum of 1991, when the people of Crimea voted for federal status of Crimea.
So, current situation around Crimea (from the direction of Ukraine) is illegal and all this shit is just a result of ignoring the people's wills. The people of Crimea wants to be associated with Russia (no matter in what form).
