Someone in the locker room this morning brought up a good point: Why didn't Crimea and Eastern Ukraine just stay with Russia when the Soviet Union broke up?

On 19 February 1954, the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the Soviet Union issued a decree transferring the Crimean Oblast from the RSFSR to the Ukrainian SSR.[27] The transfer of the Crimean Oblast to Ukraine has been described as a "symbolic gesture," marking the 300th anniversary of Ukraine becoming a part of the Russian Empire.[28][29] The General Secretary of the Communist Party in Soviet Union was at the time the Ukranian Nikita Khrushchev.
stalin starved the crap out of the ukrainians in the 30s. he took the machinery ukraine needed for food production back to russia. maybe moscow felt bad for doing that?Holodomorit's a wonder any eastern european is sane. generation after generation has lived through an endless chain of tortuous events.

WTF is Ukraine going to do about it? They just turned their entire Gov. over with no vote.
I've said it before and I'll say it again, K-State fans could have beheaded the entire KU team at midcourt, and K-State fans would be celebrating it this morning. They are the ISIS of Big 12 fanbases.
Welp, Russia just got even bigger. And our weakling in chief's plan is, evidently, to send John Kerry to deliver an ultimatum they have no intention of following through with. In other words, we're not going to do a damned thing. USA! Diplomacy!
KU is right on par with Notre Dame ... when it comes to adding additional conference revenue
Beer pro tip: never drink anything other than BL, coors, pbr, maybe a few others that I'm forgetting

If they vote to go and russia wants them, I don't see what the big deal is. Obviously Ukraine has nothing to offer Crimea.
