You're very Western centric ain't you comrade...
as fraught with fraud (apparently, in your view) as that electoral process may have been... a 95% majority is a pretty big deal... even if the referendum was completely impartial, Crimea would still, in my view, be hitting it off with Russia... Truth of the matter is (as much as Western media would like to deny), Crimea has wanted to distance itself from the Ukraine for quite some time (pretty much since the fall of the USSR)... Whether that be with Russia, or to be a completely autonomous, sovereign nation... What needs to happen, is the West needs to respect those wishes and allow Crimea to be Crimea (if that makes sense)... Instead, what we have is a bunch of invalids in charge in the west trying to call shots on what is "good" for the Crimean people...
very, very democratic
In a completely non politically motivated move; Youtube has blocked the channel of Russia Today... they cited a "technical fault" as the cause... genius!

And yes, I will have no respect for any Ukrainian government until they hold their general elections... I think an interim government should really reconsider calling shots on what sovereignty and political due process is... Also think it's a bit rich to make threats against your neighbour and then try to hide behind NATO (they are only further complicating the situation)...
