Russia, Crimea, American Mainstream Media Lies

The Crimean peninsula was controlled by, or actually part of, Russia from the 18th to 20th centuries until it became part of an independent Ukraine following the breakup of the Soviet Union in 1991.

"Ironically, US media portrays the actions of Putin to Hitler.

Mish's Global Economic Trend Analysis: Was Russia's Annexation of Crimea Illegal? Who Has the Right to Decide? Transformation of Mainstream Media: " .... Take Your Pick: Story A or Story B

Story A: Crimea has historically been a part of Russia for centuries. Russian troops in Crimea were there by agreement. Thus, Russia did not invade Crimea. The US [government] fomented trouble in Ukraine (and got it, but did not like the result). Crimea voted overwhelmingly to rejoin Russia. There is no legitimate reason to disavow that vote, whether we like the result or not. The US reneged on promises to not let NATO expand into Eastern bloc countries.
