Completely contradictory to western condemnation Russia has annexed Crimea. Crimea was actually originally a part of Russia but was given to Ukraine by Nikita Khruschev who was Ukrainian and very Pro Ukraine. So a large majority of the population in Crimea and eastern Ukraine is Russian. So when they voted at a 97% majority to be annexed into Russia it's not completely unlikely, it's just annoying because Russia thinks they can do whatever the heck they want to and that they don't have to abide by international law or listen to anyone else. And we can't really do anything about it because a huge percentage of U.S. natural gas comes out of Russia. Specifically the region right there by Crimea. So basically we can't fight them, cuz we don't want a war first of all, but also because we depend on them for a lot of resources and we can't afford that kind of conflict with them. Honestly they just bug me. Vladimir Putin bugs me. He's a bully and he think he can just do whatever he wants and get away with it. BUT YOU KNOW WHAT!?!? He pretty much can so that really sucks...
But he cant really do that. That is like Mexico coming and saying "oops ok we are going to just come and take California and make it part of Mexico now" even if california wanted to leave it doesnt just work like that.... it takes time and a lot of different steps and agreements. Something like this also involves everyone in the world... I feel like Russia is acting all mighty and powerful but in the end they will be the losers, because either 1. they will have to back down and they will look like idiots for what they did and everyone will be mad at them or 2. They will try and take Ukraine.. piss everyone off and loose all their allies and if it goes on to war with no allies that would just be bad news for them all together. Soo they may feel like the big bad bully that cant be beat now but I think they will regret not thinking this one through
