#2 I say take back the Crimea - it's historically Russian. The Russkies spent tons of blood defening said territory from the Hitlerites.

#3 To be clear to take back Crimea they'd have to go through Ukraine and probably have to hold a corridor. Might as well just take over hte place and set up a puppet government if you're gonna do that. I think half the Ukraine is pro-Russia anyway.

#4 Folks, please be aware that there seems to be some Russian trolls about this evening. They are on Lucianne as well. They sound mostly like #2.
