Once again, your claims baffle me. Explain how you conclude that `93% of 83% of the population want to join Russia' from this study. Furthermore, no. A real referendum is one which is considered free and fair, occurring within legal bounds. | ||

No it doesn't. The poll shows 40% of crimeans identifying as russian, 15% as tartar, 15% as ukrainian and 24% as crimean. Just considering the people identifying as ukrainian/tartar combined with the reported turnout makes the outcome pretty impossible, as those two groups would be extremely unlikely to vote in favor. | ||

This development in Crimea is not going to make it easier with NK, Iran and possible others in future... | ||

Damn that's long, but what I could understand fit what I've read from other sources or seen on pictures and videos. | ||

It says nothing more than everything that's already happened. The EU and USA don't like something and want everyone else to toe the line, and the countries that don't like toeing the line are sticking their middle fingers up. Big whoop, welcome to world politics. | ||

I tend to think that the euromaiden supporters wish for more prosperity, but to be frank, as a european i dont think trading one world power for another makes your situation any better. Dont forget that the West will likely profit more from the outcome in the Ukraine then the Ukrainiens themselves will, else EU+US would not even help. And the leaders of euromaiden also seem corrupted and have ties to the mob, so your basically trading one corrupt politician for another.... I think that overthrowing the government was couragious but also dangerous. I dont understand how the people will benefit from this in short/long term and the insecurity this provides for next winter. Yes, it gives hope for better days but then they must assume that the west is interested in there wellbeing, which i sincerely doubt. It will be interesting how this develops as its a tricky chessgame now. | ||

Wow, since people have been constantly repeating here that there are about 80% russians that comes as a bit of a suprise. | ||

I havent seen this brought up before. Sevastopol is what they are mostly concerned with. With Russia, it has always been about the warm-water port. This goes back centuries. | ||

Actually, the standard figure is 60% Russian. And of those 60% not everyone has to identify themselves as Russian, especially as `Crimean' is available. | ||
