Russian President Vladimir Putin praised the Russian military's professionalism on Friday, saying their actions helped prevent bloodshed in Crimea, which rejoined Russia last week after 60 years as part of Ukraine.

This is what I have been 

trying to tell this hypocritical administration and 

even all, but one, of our congressman! df

Putin said the precision and professionalism of the Russian military helped ensure peaceful conditions for holding a referendum in Crimea earlier this month, which international observers certified as free and fair.

But our dictator doesn't say it is free and fair! 

He is again on the wrong side, as 

HE ALWAYS IS!

"The recent events in Crimea were a serious test, demonstrating the quality of the new capabilities of our military personnel, as well as the high moral spirit of the staff," Putin said at a ceremony attended by senior commanders.


The president also thanked the officers and sailors of the Black Sea Fleet as well as other units stationed in Crimea for their endurance and personal courage.


Putin ordered Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu on Friday to hand over to Ukraine military equipment of units stationed on the peninsula that chose not to join Russia. The Russian Defense Ministry said last weekend that less than 15 percent of the Ukrainian troops stationed in Crimea decided to depart for Ukraine.

WHAT? And the world says, they need to protect Ukraine! Only 15 % of their troops would even go back to Ukraine! 

They would rather stay on the Russian side! 

I dare say it would be the same % if all of Ukraine voted!

Russian officials said earlier this week that all military units in Crimea are now under the command of the Russian military.

GREAT, and when all of Ukraine vote, you can restore the Russians in Ukraine back to Russia where they belong. 
And tell the west to 
GO TO HELL!
