re: #96 iossarian

It may not be the worst outcome if the country splits in two? Especially if the Crimean region* is genuinely more aligned towards Russia?

* Not all that close to these events so apologies if this is totally wrong.

I really wonder what the “man on the street” thinks, really. The Crimea was already a semi-autonomous region anyway, and Russia in charge means that they won’t even be able to vote for their own governor.

The real question is, why couldn’t they wait until May for the proposed referendum?
