2 hours ago comment added Italian Philosopher +1 No doubt it's hard to make a convincing argument that Crimeans were (are?) massively pro-Ukraine, which is why I upvoted this Q. On the other hand, supposedly the 2014 pro-Russia independence referendum - very highly supported according to Moscow - supposedly had fairly low numbers and participation, according to results allegedly mistakenly posted by one of Russia's electoral watchdog agencies. The 2 could even coexist: ethnic Russians wanting to stay with Russia in the 90s. And disenchanted with the prospects of joining it in 2014, after seeing 25 years of post-Soviet authoritarianism
yesterday comment added Rekesoft @JonathanReez I think you wanted to say 'Might is Right', but yeah, I agree. ;)

yesterday comment added JonathanReez This part of history is somewhat hypocritically ignored by Ukraine, just like Kosovos status is hypocritically seen as being any different from the status of other former Yugoslav nations. In the end Right is Might, as proven both by the 1994 tanks rolling into Crimea from Ukraine and 2014 from Russia.
