Crimea originally pretty much wanted to join Russia, I'm really curious what an accurate poll would say today.

Exactly. It's wasn't even a ukranian. Vote it was by Russia. How anyone could take that as legitimate is beyond me.

The United Nations did polls throughout the 2000's that showed they wanted to be part of Russia.

It was a known fact Crimea wanted to be a part of Russia.

I'm curious what an accurate poll would say today, how's that downvotable?

To bad they didn't go through ukraine on the vote. Russia had no say in it. Crimea is still occupied ukranian territory. Once Russia is out and peace is restored perhaps a real referendum can be head by Ukraine and it's provinces to decide if that is the final fate. Until then too bad.

Guess one would have to be performed once it is liberated and Ukraine stabilized. Pretty sure a growing economic powerhouse of Ukraine will be better than the tatters of Russia that putler is leave them with.

There's some truth to it when you're talking raw numbers of people in crimea. However it's bs because the vote is AFTER putin had a ton of Russians steam roll in and tip the odds
