They're about as much of a country as Northern Cyprus is. In other words, not at all - they're at best Russian proxies and at worse Russian-annexed.

Yep. They seceded from Georgia only to accept Russian citizenship en masse.

Yep. Kind of like what Texas did... except much quicker. I like the comparison to the Sudatan lands preWWII.
How many Minbari does it take to screw in a lightbulb?
None. They always surrender right before they finish the job and never tell you why.

I find it strange that all this fuss is over a area od land that has a population of around 70k.
What does defeat mean to you?
Nothing it will never come. Death before defeat. I don’t bend or break. I end, if I meet a foe capable of it. Victory is in forcing the opponent to back down. I do not. There is no defeat.

Basically, it's slightly more populated than the suburb of Sugar Land, where my mom lives.

The point is the action, not the number of people affected.

Indeed. Hotter than that former Miss Alaska runner-up. I'd like to see if she's still attractive without all the TV makeup.
All chauvinism aside, she's an idiot, and I doubt many people take her seriously. I think she's just in it to be contrary - an excuse to be a b!tch.
