yeah of all the oblasts to try and negotiate around, Crimea has been Russian for over a decade. Really missed the boat on that one
"UK Open to Recognizing American Colonies as Independent"
I'm pretty sure if ducking Donald the duck gets his way the entire Ukraine will be recognized as Russian.
And this vibes-based analysis is based on what exactly?

It has a pretty good claim. It's about 60% Russian by population and was (along with the rest of Ukraine) a part of Russia or the USSR from the 1700's until 1991.
It has no claim, who gives a fuck how many Russians live there. By that logic Luxembourg should be Portuguese.
Is it not significant that the fact it is 60% Russian is because it was ethnically cleansed of Crimean Tatars?

You mean like the British did in N. Ireland, the Canadians and Americans and Australians did to their indigenous populations, Spain did to S. America, etc. I'm not saying it's right or trying to excuse them, but many of the countries that condemn them have done this or are doing it.
You forgot Portugal and France, but yes.
