Crimea

           

I don’t understand politics and I never will.

If the people in Crimea had a vote to return to Russia, and then they are celebrating on the streets because they will return to the motherland, who is the West to tell them they cannot?

Most of the people in Crimea speak Russian and they don’t want to speak someone else’s language. Not only that they speak Russian, they consider themselves Russian, they have the traditions and the customs and most important, they have the Russian mentality.

                These people look at the west as a foreign place; they don’t want to have another country telling them what to do or how to do it, they don’t want to live by somebody else’s rules, especially Germany and the US.

During WWII Crimea was occupied by Nazi Germany, after the war they were part of Russia and then they were given away to the Ukraine by Nikita Khrushchev in 1954. They did not ask to be part of the Ukraine; they had not choice on the matter. However, now they had their saying by voting to go back.

They are happy that they are part of Russia once again, they are celebrating, and that is what they want.

 They see the west as corrupt and they don’t want what they offer.

                So, who are the US and the EU to impose their ideas and way of life on somebody that does not want it?

                I don’t get it.
