More like restoration. Crimea should never have been left in Ukraine. But Russia was in a complete disarray at the time.You asked "what expansion". Crimea was absorbed by the Russians. While it is refreshing that Crimea "held" and "election" to determine whether they should join Russia... it is still an expansion.Wow? Can you come up with something more original than this desiccated bullshit?Will you ever stop with this? Crimea voted to leave and US has themselves to blame for this, if US/NATO has not tried to expand into these former soviet republics without any research whatsoever that would not have happened.
Just called him, he says he had no choice but to take Crimea back, US Department of State brilliant stupidity forced him.Seriously. You and Putin seem close. Why not just ask him directly? Heaven knows no one cares what some old lady in the middle of no where thinks.
Wow. You really have drank the kool-aid. That referendum had the same wondrous results for the same reasons that Putin wins elections by such large margins. Mostly that the whole area is filled with Russian soldiers!
