  1. Can anyone name any elections or referendums that have legally every had over 95% of the votes in favour of their policy? If you give people a real voice, there will be division, there is no way over 95% of the people voted in favour of Russia in those regions, especially with everything that's going on. I mean come on Putin, at least try and make it look more convincing of around 60%-70% lol, the over 95% vote doesn't mean anything when it's at gun point or when a lot of the votes don't even count and at the end of the day, Putin has an agenda for taking over these regions, there was no way in hell he would give a voice to those people as he couldn't afford it going the other way. In any case, is this really going to change anything? I doubt it, Ukraine is still likely going to continue it's offensive in those regions and probably into Crimea as well, a lot of countries are not going to recognize this scam vote, so Putin can say all he wants about it being part of Russia now, it probably won't matter because if the west allows Putin to get away with this, think of the message that sends around the world, all a country has to do is a quick invasion of some land, hold a quick scam referendum and then that land is yours lol, the west can't afford to allow Russia to keep those lands unless there is an independence referendum with international monitoring to see what the people actually want. You know what is funny about these vote, if Russia actually did take over Ukraine by now and did a shame referendum, I'll put money on it now that it would say around 95% of the people want to join Russia lol, what a load of crock from Putin lol. As for Turkey, China, India and a few others, they can't be seen to endorse these votes, they likely know that if this is seen as acceptable in the international community, there will be little to nothing stopping Russia or other countries doing the same thing to others around the world, this is one area where the international community needs to put its foot down hard on Russia as it's not hard to imagine how this can become a real issue longer term for others.
