Referendum in the Crimea

We keep hearing about a referendum where the people of Crimea will supposedly vote on whether they will become part of Russia. Nobody mentions, however, that the Russian troops have already established a border between the Crimea and the rest of Ukraine.

Serious troops are occupying the border and not letting anybody in or out of the region. The roads and the streets are filled with armored vehicles and masked soldiers with machine guns.

Obviously, any vote taken in such circumstances is worth what the water left after boiling eggs is.
