Well, the true scale of the internal migration is hard to gauge because Russia is Russia, but in classic fashion there’s likely been quite a bit of forced migration but could be as many as 800,000 to 1,000,000 people who have been “brought” into Crimea one way or another and a number of native Ukrainians and Tatars have been forcibly relocated.

Edit: and I found one estimate putting the number of internally displaced Crimeans in Ukraine at 20,000 – 100,000 (pg. 2), but another estimate had an upper limit of 200,000

May well be, but I saw comments like “This is how the left loses voters”, and generally the pointless mean-spirited bigotry does come from the right

Not an American tradition, but a conservative tradition; in Finland we just had two literal neo-Nazis stab children in a shopping centre.

That’s the French Navy, not the “EU military”. The EU is not a military alliance, there is really no EU military to speak of, just the militaries of member states who may or may not have any intention or capability of aiding others. Like I said, there are about 60 000 “EU soldiers” under the Common Security and Defence Policy, but they’re more for peacekeeping missions.

NATO is pretty much the closest thing there is to an EU military, as a huge percentage of the member states belong to it as well.
