And why is Obama making it a thing? Russia's going to ignore him. And then he'll look like an ineffectual fool. And the entire US will too. The most we can expect him to do is throw some sanctions at Russia.
Basically, who cares?

OK, so just to recap events, Crimea held a vote and the majority of the citizens who voted said that they wanted to be with Russia. Russia wants Crimea. Crimea wants Russia. It's done.
I don't care about this issue. If the number of posts in this thread is any indication, the Cellar doesn't care about this issue either.
I still don't understand what Obama is doing trying to block this. I give the man credit for being intelligent, but I can't see it in this instance. By making it a thing, and then failing to prevent it, he doesn't look so good.
