I wonder how many people r aware of the fact that Crimea was its own country for about 4 years after the fall of the Soviet Union. I wonder how many people remember that they had their own constitution & elected gov't. And I wonder how many people know that Ukraine's military invaded in '95, tore up their constitution, and straight up took them over. Anybody? Does anybody know any of this history? Not in the US, that's for sure, & it feels like not in Europe, either.

Actually, I may be misremembering the '95 date...it could have been earlier. Anyway, look it up and see for yourself. I only found out about it from the Radio War Nerd podcast. Amazing the kind of little details like that never get mentioned on the mainstream news, innit?

@lwriemen Haven't looked at Rall's doodles in awhile, but I'm not surprised.
