Russia has barely owned it, the Russian empire took it a few hundred years ago and as usual as Russians do they implant their population there then cry they are being abused just like Hitler did, atleast with the UK the Falklands were uninhabited and have spent 95% of their "human existence" in our hands, Crimea on the other hand has been under more ownership than a 30 year old Lada. People are so blind because they are so uneducated, and hate the US so much that they believe any bullshit spouted by someone with more brain cells than them (2) anyone with a a few sense can see the way Russians act and draw parallels with any number of empires in recent historical memory.
