You know any poll that has 90% agreement has me concerned. Hey I'm not saying western media is right and Russia is just the new Nazi Germany ready to swallow Ukraine but 90% agreement? I mean could someone look into the polling process perhaps some foul play? because my brains having a bit of a hard time wrapping around this. It just sounds like the other side of the fence propaganda.

If you look at the polls done in crimea 20+ years ago, they also had very high agreement to separate from Ukraine.

It is hard to believe, but Crimeans really really really ... really did not like Ukraine. So all this fucking garbage about "Crimea is Ukraine" and "Illegal Annexation" is fucking bullshit.

Crimea hated Ukraine way before any of this started. They took the first chance they got to get the hell out.

It's also because Crimeans don't consider themselves Ukrainians and consider themselves Crimean first, and then Russian. http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/monkey-cage/wp/2014/03/06/do-crimeans-actually-want-to-join-russia/

It would be like if Canada was given to the US without asking anyone.

50 years later, you can bet your ass you'd have 90%+ voting to become Canadian again.
