as Albert Einstein once said: 'Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the universe.'

look at this map! can you see Crimea without squinting? I doubt this

can you compare peninsula with Siberia, this huge region, full of priceless mineral resources (the biggest source of russian income, actually)?

and still, russian ruler puts at risk guarantee of the very existence of russian state (in its todays emperial configuration) in feverish struggle for his personal power, for ratings, for fame of "reconnector of primordial russian lands"

it's worse than stupidity. it's the fatal mistake
