They could have just called for a referendum in Crimea, and probably won (especially with their covert efforts). That's precisely what Crimea has voted to do. They voted to have a democratic referendum. But the Kiev-Junta government have refused to honour the outcome. They tried to take part in the democratic process. The democratic process isn't democratic when an outside nation moves troops in with the intent of backing one side. Nice try though. That happened after the illegal Kiev government intruded in their referendum. But nice try.
Did you know that violent conflict manipulates the outcome of a vote? Astounding stuff I know.

I have only one thing to say about Russian ways..
They seem to very worried because they feel that Crimeans need to have independence and shouldn't be under a nation they don't want to belong.. why don't they have the same worries about the peoples of Ossetia, Tchetchenia and all the other regions that want independence from Russia?
Moscow is hypocrit and imperialistic
Same as any other big power.
One could get independence only if powers that be have interest in it.
I dont think they are considering independent Crimea,they are considering annexing it.They might consider making south-east Ukraine independent or forcing Kiev to make a federation.
China does not care.

Did you also know that Yanukovych was ousted from his office from outside manipulation to support the revolution? Fascinating stuffs I know.

He was ousted from his office for being a corrupt scumbag.

And western medias aren't slightly biased in anyway possible. Ok. The whole referendum was going to solve Crimean issue until Junta came in and interrupted the whole process.

I am in no way suggesting that Western media is unbiased in calling you out for being a Russian interest shill. Only in a fantasy land does a single referendum solve the Crimea problem.

Is it still democratically elected when there was massive cheating going on when votes were counted?

Where are those people who claimed that local referendum would solve territory issues in Falklands referendum. thread? I remember some people supported the idea that referendum should decide it.

Of course, right. Totally didn't see that.

Czechoslovakia doesnt exist anymore; its czech republic and slovakia today.
I just hope nothing tupid happens in Ukraine.
From what I recently read iin media here, most inhabitants of Crimea are actually pro-Russia. But then again, wasnt it the other way around in Chechnya, and russia didn't let them go either (This is a real question, I'm not sure but I think it was that way)? There are probaly a lot of double standards involved from all parties, so I find it really hard to make my opinion.
Let's just hope it doesn't escalate any further.

That's not the point. The point is that not having a referendum looks really, really bad and allows Russia to play the "we're here to de-escalate"-card.

Assuming you're talking about Yanukovych please don't spread completely unverifiable claims. Every single election monitoring agency that mattered in the West called the elections valid and there have been no issues raised directly after it came through. That includes the opposition leaders at that time. Source.
