If Majority wants it and they vote for it through a referendum then its as legal as it gets , now for those saying the referendum is through a barrel of a gun.. No it isn't...Voting is done in a booth, an enclosed space and hence no body has any clue whom a person voted for , so forcing a person to vote for someone is very stupid.... As for the minorities , too bad .. Nothing really can be done if the majority wants to join.. it would be quiet stupid to upset the majority to please a minority

Ukraine will not attempt a military move to prevent the southern Crimean peninsula's breakaway in order not to expose its eastern border, Ukraine's acting president Oleksandr Turchynov told AFP Tuesday in an exclusive interview.
"We cannot launch a military operation in Crimea, as we would expose the eastern border and Ukraine would not be protected," Turchynov said, as Crimea prepares to vote in a referendum Sunday on becoming part of Russia.
Crimea's upcoming referendum is a "sham" whose results will be fixed in Moscow, Turchynov told AFP.

Than why do they keep denying the UN entry into Crimea? Seems to me if the elections are legitimate they would want UN observers. But see they dont because than the fake vote would be shown to the world.See its not democracy when they are already claiming to know the outcome and the government of Crimea is taking steps already to join Russia. See in a democracy you have to see which way people vote first unless you know the outcome because there is only one choice.

Or maybe they are fed up with the meddling and the insurrection support? Not that you can blame them after all that the western block has fondled there.

General Dempsey: US ready for military response to Russia if Crimean conflict escalates
This is the first clear sign from the US that they may use military action in the event of further escalation in Crimea but what will they determine as an "escalation"? Also Ukraine believe that Russia are getting ready to launch a full invasion of the country. I think this Sunday will determine which way this bloodless conflict (so far) will go.

And now you have this, next week the world may see some changes.
The Defense Ministry said units of the 98th Guards Airborne Division, based in Ivanovo, a city east of Moscow, were put on high alert and moved to unspecified locations to “check readiness” in simulated combat conditions.
Four thousand troops, 36 military transport aircraft and an unspecified number of combat vehicles are taking part in the exercises, which will run until March 14.
The drills will include a massive simultaneous paradrop involving 3,500 servicemen, the ministry said.
