11 statements about Crimea, every show
Sankar: The US failed to deter major conflicts over the past decade
“If you look back over the last 10 years, we've not been able to deter a lot of conflict. We had the annexation of Crimea in 2014. The militarization of the Spratly Islands after they told President Obama, we will not militarize it. They militarized Spratly Isl…”
Sacks: Over 80% of Crimeans poll in favor of being part of Russia
“And if you look at what the people of Crimea want, and there's been a lot of Western polling on this, there's been man on the street interviews by NBC, the people of Crimea by something like over 80% say they want to be part of Russia.”
Sacks: It is militarily impossible for Ukraine to retake Crimea
“So my point is that it's militarily impossible to retake Crimea. The people of Crimea don't want Ukraine to retake it. They want to be part of Russia, and yet Zelensky cannot give this up.”
Sacks claims American cluster bombs killed Russian civilians in Crimea
“American cluster bombs were used to kill Russian civilians sunbathing on the beach in Crimea.”
Musk: Starlink coverage in Crimea was disabled due to US sanctions
“At the time this happened, the region around, you Crimea was actually turned off. Now, the reason it was turned off was, actually, originally, was because the United States had sanctions and we're not allowed to actually, and that includes Crimea in the sancti…”
Musk: Would have activated Starlink in Crimea if requested by Biden
“If I had received a presidential directive to turn it on, I would have done so, because I do regard the president as the chief executive officer of the country, whether I want that position If I'm not, I still respect the office, and so, if, you know, if we've…”
Sacks: Putin seized Crimea in direct retaliation for a U.S.-backed coup
“If you're wondering why Putin seized Crimea, it was in direct retaliation for the coup that we backed in Ukraine in 2014. This is the origin of the conflict.”
Sacks: Jake Sullivan told Ukrainians they cannot reclaim Crimea
“Jake Sullivan just this week said that he told the Ukrainians it was reported that they can't have Crimea back, get realistic.”
Sacks: Russia will likely use a tactical nuke if Ukraine retakes Crimea
“With the result that I think is quite likely that the Russians will be willing to use a tactical nuke to prevent their total defeat.”
Sacks: 80% to 90% of Crimea's population wants Russia alignment
“Apparently, 80 to 90% of the population in Crimea is Russian and wants to be part of Russia.”
Rampell: U.S. Crimean sanctions blocked centrally routed payment networks
“Where Putin annexes Crimea, part of the sanctions that the United States government passed to kind of penalize Putin is to say that transactions can no longer happen in Crimea that are centrally routed in San Francisco or New York.”
