Does it matter if Crimea is part of Russia..?
I couldn't have pointed to Crimea on a map 3 months ago (without serious help)
Am I supposed to care?

These are the questions that rattle around in my pea brain

Don't matter none to me. They can have all of Ukraine back for all I care.

Who cares. In another few months, nobody will remember Crimea.

I think we need another Crimea thread. Only 4 on the front page.

Doesn't matter to me. Not everything that happens in the world is our business.

I imagine a 1980's Chizzy pondering the same thought regarding the Iran-Iraq war.

Not judging though and in general I agree.

We should have done everything possible to keep the Iran - Iraq war going. Too bad it ended.

Frequently I can do my own research and make determinations beyond the spoon fed obvious

In cases such as this:
I'm never going to Crimea and one minute of deeper investigation is one minute wasted
I'll accept the prevailing data points as "Fine"

I know a girl from Sevastopol who you'd go to the Crimea over. She's right up your alley, too- older, looks like a hairy Italian, and liberal as fvck

I don't know...

She's definitely a little older

looks Italian-ish

and I'll bet you a paycheck she chooses Salon over Natty Review

so to complete my seamless description of Chizzy's typical gal, we are going to have to see some naked pics

Impressive Mr. Kreskin

Yes she's dangerously old
Her dad was 1/2 Italian (so she's hardly even)
She loves Salon (in fact she's been to the corporate HQ in San Francisco)

:clap:

She eats at Whole Foods and loves their Collard Greens Sesame Soy Ginger Salad

I think it matters because it sets a bad precedent. The seed is now planted that Russia can take over land from sovereign nations with little backlash from the international community.

Additionally, China has a few territorial disputes and this probably gives them an idea of what the response may look like by the rest of the world if the simply decide to take what they want.
