you were talking about 'annexation' and 'territorial takeover', and stated something about 'admitting what has been happening for weeks'
Crimea just voted for this on the 6th. hard to call something a 'take-over', when the democratic process has been followed
what's funny, of course, is i don't think the Parliament can 'vote the president out of power', but i suppose the action was backed by the free world
