One can go home again.

I’m trying to be objective. About Russia’s takeover of Crimea. To put myself in the roles of the Russians and the Crimean people. Linking to the Russian Federation makes sense. Logically. After all, Crimea was a part of Russia. As recent as 1954. When Khruschev gave Crimea to Ukraine. A gift. Didn’t matter much then. Because Ukraine was part of the expansive Soviet Union. Of course, there’s no more Soviet Union. And now there’s wishful thinking. To fix a mistake of 60 years ago. Presto.  Like magic. Makes Russians and Crimean relatively happy.  Goes to show that one can go home again –Jim Broede
