My understanding is that Crimea is largely pro-Russian. Why shouldn't they be allowed to separate from Ukraine if that's what they want?

The reports I've seen have all claimed the gunmen to be unidentified but obviously pro-Russian. How do you know they're Russian soldiers?

How far do you expect us to go with this? No one here wants a war with Russia. . . and these are the kind of situations that escalate quickly.

I'm a computer science major. How can I become a professional send things into space. . .r? Also, you're all awesome. <3

Thanks for answering. Understand that I'm 100% with you on this. I'm very much in favor of what's happening in Ukraine. . . or at least what I think is happening. I just think it's important to understand the situation before I go running off screaming incoherently at congress people.

That said, aren't the Pro-Russian faction in Crimea the majority? Couldn't it be said that they're doing basically the same thing you've all done? They've taken it on themselves to occupy Government buildings to protest the pro-EU turn the country is taking. How is that different than what you all did?

Couldn't it also be argued that, by bringing Russia into their protest early, they're actually trying to avoid the same drawn out and bloody conflict the euromaidan protesters endured? Like you said, everyone is trying to avoid bloodshed now. . . something that might not otherwise be happening.

We might have been able to prevent this. . . but we might also have been able to prevent the euromaidan movement too. It's not the job of the US to prevent internal conflict. We just can't do that. Now that it's confirmed Russia is involved I expect, and will do my best to ensure, that our Government will take the appropriate diplomatic measures to handle that situation. I don't think it will come to war with Russia and I'm not sure I'd support one if it did.

Thanks again for answering. I'm sorry if I offended with my questions. I just want to understand what's happening before I take action.

How do you approach designing a specific color for magic? How does that approach differ when designing an entire era of cards? What impact, or influences do previous generations of cards have on your decisions as a designer? How important is the "professional" scene regarding overall design in magic? Do you find that the fictional universe surrounding your cards has an impact on how you design? If so, how much weight is it given?

I have extreme intimacy issues. I've been cheated on in the past, I was sexually assaulted when I was a child. I've been in, and out of therapy from the time I first reported the assault in 6th grade. My question is this, what's your favorite color? and, as a follow up, why?
