Okay, if you're willing to throw the law and legalities aside, then...you're nothing more than a thug, and/or an apologist for them.

- afterburner 13y agoNo, I'm being realistic about what it means to push Russia on this point. They're serious about Crimea, handling this well will require consideration. The law matters, yes. And so does how Russia feels about Crimea. Both need to be considered.

- afterburner 13y agoIt's brinksmanship of the most professional kind, there's no doubt about that. Russia can push harder than the US in this case. But of course the world needs to push back, I'm not saying take it lying down. However, I will be surprised if Russia doesn't retain control of Crimea.
