[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Tatars are not originally native to Crimea.  All of mankind is tribal, from other areas.[/quote]

The Tatars have a far longer and more legitimate claim to Crimea than the johnny-come-lately Russians do.  And they made it clear that they did not approve of Crimean annexation by Russia.[/quote]

Did the Normans have a legitimate claim to Britian? The conquistadors to Mexico and Peru? So naive.

We are talking about war. Brute force.[/quote]

That's what's basically happened in Crimea - and now Ukraine.  It's the 800 pound gorilla throwing its weight around, trying to take whatever it can.  There's zero illusion of legitimacy about it anywhere outside of Russian media.[/quote]

again, for the 100th time, what are you prepared to do about it?[/quote]

I'm not the poster you are sparring with, but we will arm Ukraine to stall the Russians militarily, until the combination of the oil shock and sanctions bring the domestic situation to a boil.  Putin's only out will be to back off.[/quote]
We? lol.  You and what army?  It will take a whole lot of armin' for the Ukrainian armed forces to become competitive with Russia's.

And suppose you do? What do you think you'll get in return?  Another corrupt banana republic with more oceanside villas paid for with IMF money.  Some prize, eh?[/quote]
