US and EU On The Wrong Side Of Democracy

f 95% of the voters in Crimea want to separate from Ukraine who’s democratically elected government was overthrown by force why would any country in the so-called “free” world oppose it?

Then the question that begs to be answered by people of sound mind is, why is Russia being punished for actions taken by Crimea? Crimean’s are entitled to determine their own fate and if 95% of them want to annex themselves to Russia it’s their democratic right to do so.

The hypocrisy in the EU’s and US position is nauseating; judgments coming from those who have colonized and annexed (or just plain occupied) other countries throughout their history.

The Ukraine and Crimea crisis began with the violent overthrow of the elected government by forces that are now recognized as legitimate by the EU and US. What followed is the Russian response to what it believes to be a threat to it’s territorial and geopolitical integrity.

As in Egypt, the US has decided to support military coups and violent insurrections at the expense of  the democratic process while at the same time progressing to champion freedom and democracy.

As for Crimea? The people have spoken.
