Instead all we get is endless repetition of the western MSM meme "Russia illegally annexed Crimea".
They did.
How is a "legal" secession to happen, for it to be classified as "legal"?
People who want to join russia, join russia. People who don't want to, don't. And sane people who don't want to be governed by any mafia are left alone and 'stateless'. And this last kind of secession is the only meaningful one by the way.
So then, why was the referendum in Crimea and the apparrently overwhelming "want" of the people of Crimea to secede from Ukraine and "join Russia", somehow "illegal"?
Was there an option to not join any state? Or even create an 'indepenent' state? Rhetorical question of course... Plus, 97% voted "yes"? That's very hard to believe. Plus, crimea was annexed by the russian empire in ~1780. That looks like a precendent of sorts...
