I think had the situation been handled with care, not even the extreme care, but just any type of care, Crimea would still be part of Ukraine with well-defined autonomy. Meaning, the power to issue laws (within the limits set by Ukrainian Constitution) and enforce them on their territory. Based on what I know about Crimea, joining Russian Federation is the less of the evils. Sure enough, now the Crimean channel is happy to broadcast the perfectly happy new Russian citizens 'who just found their way home', but in reality it was not that simple. Still, based on the information I get from Crimea, Russian-speaking population voted almost unanimously to be part of Russia, so that was not staged.

Громозека, рад тебя видеть.
