Scotland is doing the same bit because they are part of a bigger entity then just them self's the whole of the people should vote on it. I told everybody this was the first step to the soviet union reform. Putin grew up and served for them. Crimea is just the first of many. The time for intervention is now. History always repeats it's self but can be changed by learning from the past.

I dont support the referendum, but it was Quebec, not Canada, that was voting on independece vote, was not it? And no, it is not the first step in restoring USSR. Restoring USSR would require the conquest of 14 countries, some of which are NATO members. It is both impossible and pointless. Crimea invasion is merely a defensive - yet abysmal and illegal - move to keep the fleet base and box NATO out a bit.
