The people of Crimea voted in favor to break away from Ukraine. People have the Right to self determination just as the USA broke off from the UK. History records show that Crimea should never have been Ukrainian to begin with. The people in Ukraine have been suffering for 20 years hoping to find relief from a poor economy. If they are tired of a corrupt broken Kiev let the do what they want. They live there . Americans dont. We should not judge them emotionally if they choose to go with Russia instead. despite
Russia's stagnant economy it is far far better off than Ukraine is by a long shot in terms of opportunities for the Crimean people. There were international monitors who watched the voting in crimea to ensure fairness of the elections. They did not vote at gunpoint from Russia.
