Crimea has "voted" to rejoin with the RSFSR after decades of captive unity with Ukraine. Congrats to a renewed age of Soviet influence.

I'll get the nuclear irradiated popcorn.

Also Russia is using the Independence of Kosovo, which they opposed, as international precedent.

Irony: now that Crimea is Russian sovereign territory, all Ukranian forces in the region have been ordered to vacate by Friday or they will be seen as a criminally occupying foreign force and dealt with accordingly. Ugh. I'm sure they're expected to leave ALL their equipment for Russia to inherit as well.

I'm still too confused to understand what's going on anymore. Seriously, I can't understand anything after the Ukraine won the protests and the corrupt leader GTFO'd.

Russia has essentially used the chaos caused by the protests to seize the Crimean peninsula from Ukraine.

But how? Haven't they established their independence? How does Russia have the power to muscle into another country's territory?

It's fucking Russia?

Non sarcastic answer: Crimea already wanted to break away from Ukraine somehow, but the constitution of that country prevented them from doing so without permission of the entire country. Although the country was set to vote on the chance of having Crimea become more independent from the Central Ukrainian government, Putin didn't want to wait and sent in his troops to "keep the peace" and monitor the vote to just break away and join the Russians.

Since armed guards outside the polling place ensure fair and balanced elections.

It means they've finally been given clear rules of engagement. They can now kill to defend themselves instead of sit on their asses because they don't know if self defense is breaking the law.
