DIJEL: I think that Crimea becoming part of Russia is a good thing. if Crimea used to be part of Russia, why not give it back to Russia? There has already been such a powerful history of repressions in our country. There is no guarantee that this will not happen again. But we can at least now choose to go West and bring ethnic Russians back into Russia | |

Us too, Dave. Ivan, how are you determining that the people of Donetsk want to join Russia? By the amount of armed thugs in the streets? According to Wikipedia, (I know not a scholarly source, but accurate enough), the ethnic Russian population is only 38%, compared to 57% ethnic Ukrainian. Furthermore, only 18% of the people surveyed in a poll by the Institute of Social Research and Policy Analysis support joining Russia. |

ELPEDIA: First off, as a student of international politics i cannot accept facts or stats from Wikipedia. Second, just because some are not ethnic russians docent mean they don't want to join Russia. Finally, I can't completely believe those figures, as they could have been only asked by supporters from pro-Ukrainian rallies or be exaggerated by Western Media | |

I'd like to point out that Finland, parts of Poland, and even Alaska used to be part of Russia. Does this mean (according to Putin) that they should thus be part of Russia because they were at some point in hundreds of years of history? (In case you're wondering, I dislike that particular argument.) |

What is wrong is some one reading only Russian news sources to argue the side of an argument that Russia is on, especially when Russia has a reputation for less than neutral news media. It'd be like me arguing against Obama's presidency if I only watched Fox News. |

So, you mean like the Falkland Islands which last year voted 98.8% in favour of remaining a British Overseas Territory – in an election verified by international observers (which the Crimean referendum was not). Or do you mean Gibraltar, which voted twice (1967 and 2002) in favour of remaining a BOT? Where are these territories that want to leave the 'grip' of Her Majesty? Also, why is the Third Amendment written as part of your 'Legislation Written'? |

Putin does seem to long for the revival of the Soviet Union.... On the news, I don't trust any american media really and I'm american. I usually look at BBC america and world news, it's legit news instead of Fox's scare tactics CNN's missing planes. Any news I do recieve whether it be from BBC I research then find a middle point of truth. |
