IIUC, 'tis will be a SECOND SERB SOVEREIGN STATE.

* GROONG > [News.AM = Izvestia] RUSSIAN MP SUGGESTS RENAMING CRIMEA, to its ancient ethno-historical name "Tavrida".

* SAME > IFF RUSSIA CAN RECOGNIZE THE CRIMEA AS A SOVEREIGN STTAE, IT SHOULD DO THE SAME FOR KARABAKH.

#3 so, Italy, build a wall around the land side of Venice and require Visas to visit. Slap tariffs on exports of power, food, commerce. Remove all security and protection. Let them have all the fun of being an autonomous state. Actions have consequences

#4 ..actually, its Vento province. It's like walling up Illinois (maybe not a bad idea come to think of it, but given they refuse to put a real border fence up with Mexico, most unlikely). One of the more self sustaining and productive regions of the country (sort of more like Texas). Contains two American-NATO bases, Caserma Ederle in Vicenza and Aviano AFB in Pordenone.
