WTF... are you still on this Crimea kick? The Crimeans already have spoken. They voted overwhelmingly to join the Russian Federation. No stories have come out since 2014 of any unrest or quarrels about Crimeans wanting to be part of Ukraine.
Suppose that is true... wouldn't there have been some skirmish or conflict or some sort of counter-revolution between now and 2014 for those that opposed the reunification with Russia?
How about you stand up to Russian forces and let me know how that turns out for you? Also Newsweek is reporting that the Russians *could* launch an attack over Christmas.

Look, you and I know good and damn well that if Crimea was really taken against the peoples' will under hostile conditions that there would have been some type of push back and resistance long before now. The people of Crimea are happy and content to be in the Russian Federation. The only people that seem to be upset are you and NATO.How about you stand up to Russian forces and let me know how that turns out for you?

Yefim Fiks, a spokesman for the de facto Crimean parliament, told the Russian news agency Ria Novosti on Friday that the move was necessary "to protect the local population from the crazy antics of the current Ukrainian government".
He claimed that "everything can be expected" from the authorities in Kiev.
Bad news
Putin is doing more to unite Ukraine and the West than any previous Russian leader. He went in to stop further integration and yet the complete opposite is happening.
I asked this in 2014 and I ask it again going into 2019... but is joining the EU in the best interest of Ukraine given all of the turmoil and chaos that loose confederation is going through over the last few years?Funny the impact having a neighbor nation invade you can have.
I hadn't been keeping track, but apparently pro-EU/NATO sentiment is growing. If UKR could only get its act together.
