"Crimea is Ukraine" says US; Russians bring up Kosovo

Crimea is Russia

@ Kent Prince: And lets not forget the rest of the country be returnwd to NATIVE AMERICANS!!!

Crimea is Russia
(Sam, 16 March 2018 11:51)

Yea and so?
Kosova is Albania . Nothing to be surprise here

Since the U.S. is playing double standards they can just hand over California, New Mexico, Arizona and Texas back to Mexico and the indigenous peoples.

@Mike Sudojvic: ANd let's not forget that the rest of Serbia should be returned to the NATIVE ILLYRIANS!
(Dardhania, 17 March 2018 22:46)

Totally agreed, but that's not you!!

And since Illyrians are extinct, whom should it be returned to?

Kosovo and Crimea have nothing in common.Kosovo's independence came after a long process through UN...
(Mark, 16 March 2018 21:00)

You must be kidding, right? According to the UN, Kosovo is part of Serbia. By now, also according to the UN, Serbian troops should be back in Kosovo.

- 
Exactly Joni, who unilaterally declared independence? Not Crimea, that's for sure. They had a referendum to join Russia, Russia accepted and now it is part of Russia. 

Kosovo unilaterally declared independence without a referendum. Serbia rejected and that's why it never became independent. Now it is disputed territory with a frozen conflict. 

We can see Russian efficiency compared to western incompetence.
(Zoran, 16 March 2018 16:26)

Zoran my dear, there was a referendum in Kosovo but Serbia never recognized it.

But if all Serbia need is a referendum same as Crimean case just let us know Zoran.

In the other hand, Ukrainians didn't kill a single Crimean dog, let alone a single Crimean man, woman or child.. So...??

You all know that Russia is just using Kosovo - and soon or latter Kosovo will do the same referendum as Crimea to join Albania and wonder what Russia will have to say then...
Will shushhhh.. for sure believe me...

To be fair the Americans and Russians at times when it suits them are wilfully ignorant when it comes to history. As Belarus, Russia and Ukraine are all one country and a single people ‘Kievan Rus’. Where as Kosovo or Dardania predates Slavic settlements by several thousand years just as modern Macedonians have nothing to do with Ancient Macedonia and Alexander the Great.

Putin is like Sloba in many ways. By annexing Crimea helped us a lot.

FYI

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kosovan_independence_referendum,_1991

WE NOW NEED 1 more referendum!!!
I guess I can see why it's taking a bit long ne'er then I would like, maybe it is best to wait a bit more?

Russians are world class liars. What he fails to mention is that it was not the USA that vaporized Serbia in 99, but it was NATO a coalition of over 29 different countries. The bombing was to stop Serbians from slaughtering Albanians. 90% of Kosova’s population took up arms to fight Serbia. The USA never annexed Kosova and incorporate it into the USA. The USA has not annexed a country in over 100 years.

Crimean were not being slaughtered by anyone. Russia alone invaded Crimea with their “little green men” with the sole purpose of annexing the country and connecting it to Russia all with zero international support! They literally invaded and stole the country and made it a part of Russia. That is true imperialism!

Russia is all steak and no sizzle. Nobody ever believes Russia and you can toss Serbia in that mix. Regardless, championing and lifting up Russia’s hand like some boxer that won a fight because they were able to invade Crimea and steal it for themselves reflects poorly on serbs. Serbs basically are saying it’s ok to invade someone else’s country and steal it. At the end of the day Crimea is not Kosova! Support Russia all you want for stealing Crimea and making it a part of Russia, it won’t bring you Kosova! Kosova is now back with its rightful owners, the indigenous Albanians.

How you like them apples?

Crimea is Russian
Kosovo is Serbian

Kosovo unilaterally declared independence without a referendum. 

Wrong! Kosova held a referendum on independence on September 2001; 87% of the population voted for independence; Serbia did not recognize the referendum, but by the same token Ukraine did not recognize the referendum in Crimea either.

By bringing up Kosova when Crimea is mentioned, Russia is, in fact, legitimizing Kosova's independence; If they didn't think Kosova's independence was the right thing to do or the right way to do things, why did they follow that example in Crimea. But they did follow that example because, contrary to what they say, they did, in fact, believe that Kosova's independence was a good example for them to follow. You're welcome Russia.

Wrong! Kosova held a referendum on independence on September 2001; 87% of the population voted for independence; Serbia did not recognize the referendum...

It's about the situation on the ground, go to Crimea and it is completely Russian. They are neither asking for recognition or care about it. Russia is a recognised country and Crimea is a part of it. It is a done deal.

As for Kosovo, what is the situation on the ground? Occupied by NATO, policed by the EU, parts controlled by Albanians, other parts controlled by Serbs. Unresolved status, frozen conflict, people escaping, no job prospects, delusional Albanians. LOL! It's a mess.

That is the difference between Russian efficiency and western incompetence.

Crimea has always been Russia. Russia gave to Ukraine but they abused it and didn’t respect the people with their language nor Russian values. Russia took it back.

Kosovo has always been Serbian (never Albanian), we gave albos too much during Tito and they abused it and tried to keep breaking it away. We had to end that resistance to steal our land.

US was too powerful and Russia to weak to help us. Now it’s all different. Next scenario will be completely in our favor.

But at least you albos had a good run.

Kosovo's population is 95% Albanian,Crimea's population is 65% Russian. Since you serbs and the russians are worried that the will of the people of Kosovo was not expressed through a referendum then why don't you volunteer to pay the expenses of a referendum in Kosovo? And let's make it as similar to Crimea's one so lets put two choices: Do you want to join? 1)Albania 2)Serbia

Kosovo and Crimea have nothing in common.Kosovo's independence came after a long process through UN and Troika negotiations where russia was totally involved.Crimea on the other hand was forcefully occupied by Russia without any process involving UN,US,EU.

Crimea is Russia
(Sam, 16 March 2018 11:51) 

Ouuu... is not part of Ukrainian territory, who unilaterally declared independece?

and United States is Native American!

Where does this all take us? and who gets there ancient lands back? and who doesn't?

Are the albs "special" and they get "their" lands back and everybody else...just too bad?

This land-grab and pretending "kosova" is a country has opened Pandora's box that seems now cannot be shut...

For me personally: If WHOLE Srbija had a referendum to let KiM breakaway and majority allowed it, then I would take up "kosova" cause to support it!
Same for Crimea, if WHOLE Ukraine had an referendum to allow Crimea to break away and majority voted for...I would support Crimea!
Only difference is "kosova" "voted"" to become "independent", Crimea "voted" to join Russia.

Same in Georgia....

Ouuu... is not part of Ukrainian territory, who unilaterally declared independece?

@iron knee

What are you on about the Greeks have lived where they currently live along with Thracian and Illyrian tribes. There’s no other place to go all three groups originate from the Balkans and are all native. You are one deluded fool, spouting nonsense.

Moskva and beograd have a great relationship because they have the same mentality....live by the gun. The last decade is an example of how Russia thinks. They invaded Georgia and Ukraine. Today belgrade might try to play nice but you neighbors better pray and hope that belgrade doesn't get an a nuclear warhead because they will once again expand their territory by bloodshed.



Sincerely,

Kosovo's population is 95% Albanian,Crimea's population is 65% Russian.

(Mark, 16 March 2018 21:00) for 1 crimea has a 85% russian population as of 2015 and kosovo has 88% of you albanians and next kosovo is still NOT independent and blocked by russia,china,india ,greece,spain ,indonesia and many big power nations..so you keep dreaming....and talking your nonsense like a fool..

At some point a few Serbian troops will be allowed to enter Kosovo in order to provide maintenance for the Orthodox Churches. However, by that time there will be no Orthodox Churches left in Kosovo, hence no need for troops.
(Educated Rom, 17 March 2018 04:23)

That's the KLA flavor of democracy, isn't it?
European my @ss.

actually crimea voted overwhelmingly for sovereignty in 1991/1992. May 5 1992 the supreme court of crimea declared independence.
the then newly formed democratic ukraine did not accept that they could peacefully leave the soviet union as it dissolved, but it wasn't acceptable that crimea should be given their right to vote and separate.
it had nothing to do with the will of the people, because democratic western countries supported the suppression of the people's will so long as the people's will was against the western will.

not so different to this "unique case". friend of the west can be freed. friend of the east remains in chains.
that sort of duplicity is exactly why the world, excluding those with kool-aid mustaches, see western democracy for what it is: an aggressive dictatorial-style democracy, where only voices within a certain category of dissent are allowed, but those that breach the small window of acceptable paradigms are branded as traitorous or worse.

the west can all agree that russia and china act that way, but have a hard time recognizing the same behavior in the mirror. perhaps because its flipped.

Kosovo unilaterally declared independence without a referendum
(Zoran, 16 March 2018 16:26)

Serbia unilaterally declared independence without a referendum, too... So, what's your point?!

... the Ukrainians liberated Crimea from the Ottoman Empire? They've got monuments all over the Ukraine and all!

isn't it abundantly clear that the crimea case is clearly unique, sui generis as is said in legal circles.
what other example matches the crimea situation?
there aren't any.
many that seem similar, but not enough.

so, if uniqueness is good enough for one goose, its certainly good enough for another, unless rule of law is not about fairness, but about might. then lets call it rule of might, and let the mighty go for it.

and if the greeks come calling in their unique deeds of the balkans back, will all the interlopers leave, illyrians, thracians, dardainians and slavs included. all invaded the greek balkans.

@iron knee

The Balkans does not belong to the Greeks, only a small percentage. Illyrians and Thracians were here on the mainland before Hellenes moved from the islands and the south to further up north. Dardanians aren’t their own group, they are a sub group of Illyrians and Yugoslavs are a mix of Slavs and the other three. So no, no ones leaving as everyone’s ancestors come from here. Kosovo is seeking independence from Serbia as they want to govern their own lands and seek self determination, no one is disputing anyone’s right to live in these lands except for hardcore nationalists with an agenda. You’re a warped individual spewing nonsense, plus many groups of Celts, Italics, Germans, Caucasians and Turks/Anatolians have settled in the Balkans and mixed with the locals just like the Slavs. We are all one big unhappy family, with each having as much of a right to be here as the other and we all have the right to be independent and free.

I aint going into Politics just stating the obvious

Both Russia and USA have agreed upon both Kosovo and Crimea. USA has Bondsteel Base and Russia has Sevastopol Naval Base, and none of them is moving.

In the end Kosovo will get UN chair and Serbia will get EU membership.

Now, keep calm and keep trolling.

As for Kosovo, what is the situation on the ground?

Since you serbs and the russians are worried that the will of the people of Kosovo was not expressed through a referendum then why don't you volunteer to pay the expenses of a referendum in Kosovo? And let's make it as similar to Crimea's one so lets put two choices: Do you want to join? 1)Albania 2)Serbia

Kosovo and Crimea have nothing in common.Kosovo's independence came after a long process through UN and Troika negotiations where russia was totally involved.Crimea on the other hand was forcefully occupied by Russia without any process involving UN,US,EU.
(Mark, 16 March 2018 21:00) for 1 crimea has a 85% russian population as of 2015 and kosovo has 88% of you albanians and next kosovo is still NOT independent and blocked by russia,china,india ,greece,spain ,indonesia and many big power nations..so you keep dreaming....and talking your nonsense like a fool..

Both Russia and USA have agreed upon both Kosovo and Crimea. USA has Bondsteel Base and Russia has Sevastopol Naval Base, and none of them is moving.

In the end Kosovo will get UN chair and Serbia will get EU membership.

Now, keep calm and keep trolling.

As for Kosovo, what is the situation on the ground?
(Zoran, 17 March 2018 10:38)

The situation on the ground is that Kosovo is independent from Serbia. Any other question?

@iron knee

The Balkans does not belong to the Greeks, only a small percentage. Illyrians and Thracians were here on the mainland before Hellenes moved from the islands and the south to further up north. Dardanians aren’t their own group, they are a sub group of Illyrians and Yugoslavs are a mix of Slavs and the other three. So no, no ones leaving as everyone’s ancestors come from here. Kosovo is seeking independence from Serbia as they want to govern their own lands and seek self determination, no one is disputing anyone’s right to live in these lands except for hardcore nationalists with an agenda. You’re a warped individual spewing nonsense, plus many groups of Celts, Italics, Germans, Caucasians and Turks/Anatolians have settled in the Balkans and mixed with the locals just like the Slavs. We are all one big unhappy family, with each having as much of a right to be here as the other and we all have the right to be independent and free.

You must be kidding, right? According to the UN, Kosovo is part of Serbia. By now, also according to the UN, Serbian troops should be back in Kosovo.
(Ivana, 16 March 2018 21:19)

Can you please provide links to documents where UN states that Kosovo is part of Serbia and that the Serbian troops should be back in Kosovo?

Crimea is Russian
Kosovo is Serbian

Crimea is Russia
(Sam, 16 March 2018 11:51)

Ouuu... is not part of Ukrainian territory, who unilaterally declared independece?

Crimea is Russia in reality it is what it is
I aint going into Politics just stating the obvious

@iron knee

What are you on about the Greeks have lived where they currently live along with Thracian and Illyrian tribes. There’s no other place to go all three groups originate from the Balkans and are all native. You are one deluded fool, spouting nonsense.

@Mike Sudojvic: ANd let's not forget that the rest of Serbia should be returned to the NATIVE ILLYRIANS!
(Dardhania, 17 March 2018 22:46)

Totally agreed, but that's not you!!

And since Illyrians are extinct, whom should it be returned to?

At some point a few Serbian troops will be allowed to enter Kosovo in order to provide maintenance for the Orthodox Churches. However, by that time there will be no Orthodox Churches left in Kosovo, hence no need for troops.
