I'm not sure anymore, Putin sign a treaty that makes Crimea part of russia on Friday.

It has officially been annexed by Russia.

Yes it is ...but will putin stop hes invasion there or will he continue into ukrain?

Speak English....

I think he will continue

It will most likely follow in the footsteps of Abkhazia and South Ossetia (2 breakaway regions of Georgia). Both areas declared their independence from Georgia and are under the protection of Russia although they are still technically part of Georgia. I believe the same will be true for Crimea. It will still be considered part of Ukraine by the international community, but it will be protected and administered by Russia from their naval base in Crimea. The only unknown now is if and when Ukraine will turn over their military bases in the peninsula, or will Russia just wait them out...

This is what is rather debatable. Will he continue on or stop at Crimea?

This is scary

thermonuclear war

Scary shit

KD3, Putin formally annexed Crimea. It's not under Russian protection, it's part of Russia.

But the rest of the world doesn't think so.

I personally believe Russia should be allowed to keep Crimea, as long as they make promises to protect the Tatars and Ukrainians. After all, they have a Russian majority.

I think Putin want to take all parts from countries were there is a majority of Russian people.
Democratically it is his right to take Crimea, because the people of Crimea wanted to be a part of Russia. I think the same will happen for eastern Ukraïne.
The same could happen with Georgia, Azerbijan, Armenia, Kazahstan.
He cannot take Estonia, Latvia, Finland because they belong to the European Union and Belarus is more pro Russian than pro Europe so I think they are allies.

It's a economical death sentence for the European Union to give Russia sanctions because the Russian gass is very important for the economy in Europe.

Honestly, Russia should give Ukraine some sort of fair compensation for Crimea.

If Russia Gets Crimea, Should Germany Get Kaliningrad?

what is the difference between Crimea and Kaliningrad?

If Russia Gets Crimea, Should Germany Get Kaliningrad?

Your talk is stupid. They had their own “referendum” and over 80% voted to be part of Russia. No pressure from Russian side, no military invasion...nothing. It was people's choice due of unrest in the Ukraine.

population in Kaliningrad -
82% Russians
0,8% Germans

population in Crimea -
60% Russians
25% Ukrainians

I advise you to make your own researches instead of listening propaganda from Tv, etc.

I did my research and ukrain was invaded and overwemled by russia

Crimea was a planed out invasion by non tagged soldiers of russia with military uniforms and civilian close
The vote is joke all media i blocked the realness

This (Crimea government) is a fake parliament because it was not elected and it was proclaimed under the Russian occupation — the democratic procedure under the guns of a foreign army does not work,

The fact is that the procedure of the change of the government and the parliament in Crimea was under the guns of a foreign army so a fake parliament adopted a fake government. Armed men assumed to be Russian troops stormed the Crimea Parliament building and locked it down. Anatoly Mogiliov, the president of Crimea, who is a member of Yanukovych's Party of Regions, was ordered out.

All of this is described as legitimate by Putin, and the votes undertaken in Kiev illegitimate. Western nations disagree.

Still, some say they believe secession to Russia is not certain because a vote to leave Ukraine will hurt Crimeans where it hurts most, the pocketbook.

"The government of Ukraine supplies water and electricity to Crimea and to the Crimean population," Pylynskyi said. "Also, they will definitely lose almost all the Ukrainian tourism and it is the main source of money in this region."

On March 12, 1938, German troops march into Austria to annex the German-speaking nation for the Third Reich

Nazis conspired to seize the Austrian government by force and unite their nation with Nazi Germany.

What does Vladimir Putin want next?

ukraine wasnt invaded
