OT: US/West/Japan etc. doesn't recognized because the result is so inflated its completely obviously rigged and the whole situation sounds fixed. Do most people in Crimea want to be part of Russia? Yes. But remember 40% of the people in Crimea are not Russian and wouldn't support being annexed by Russia, therefore its fairly obvious that if the referendum was actually legit the results wouldn't have turned out like that. That stinks of fraud so much its laughable.
Also if you remember and watched the news before the Prime Minister of Crimea was appointed when Russian military held up Parliament at gunpoint, they appointed the leader of the Russian Unity Party, who only held 3% of Parliament prior to the invasion, to lead the Crimean Parliament LOL also, he has a violent past with his involvement in organized crime.
Now should we go back to the real issue?
China is claiming a wide swathe of SCS because of historic title through its 9-dash-line then it has to prove it in court.
Again as for the Falklands given that there are people living there who have almost unanimously chosen to remain British, it should remain British. It's a completely different situation, not that you can tell the difference, apparently.Britain and Argentina are both outside the 200 miles EEZ of Falkland Islands. So please stop making excuses.
