While I have already stated a number of negative effects (which have so far been ignored), what positive effects does excluding Crimea from Ukraine gives? The only way you can get to occupied territory of Crimea from government controlled part of Ukraine is through a narrow straight which is heavily guarded. I cannot imagine the situation where anybody would "wonder" into occupied territory without knowing it. I cannot understand WHY was this reconsideration made in the first place. It was much more peaceful before this decision. P.S. And I really do not think sarcasm in "evil Russian aggression" is funny. -- Tomas _______________________________________________ talk mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
