Crimea cringe
Despite various High Court rulings etc authorising resettlement of the dispossessed islanders, neither Britain nor the US has accommodated legal, let alone moral, opinion.
In light of this shameful episode in recent history, the shock is that either country should pontificate about the peninsula of Crimea in a framework of ethical reference points of their own making, and lecture all who will listen about codes of international conduct being disregarded by, for instance, Russia. “Pot calling the kettle black” is barely adequate to apply to such brazen pronouncements.
