Annexation of Crimea

So if you have not been following the Ukraine crisis, it has taken an even stranger turn. Earlier this week the Crimea region voted to become part of the Russian Federation, this was a "free" and "democratic" election. I use quotes because how free and democratic can an election be if there are armed Russian security forces at the polling stations. The United States has responded by basically cutting off key Russian Banks from doing business with the United States, which needless to say hurts their business. One of the more interesting things i have seen is that FOX news, which normally is extremely critical of President Obama, has not been so during this crisis. I think it highlights that although their political views sharply contrast on domestic issues, when given a common enemy our elected representatives can actually get something done.
