> It was so forceful, that it was effectively bloodless and an overwhelming portion of the "annexed" populace has actively supported it.

That seems like an unusual perspective.

If by "bloodless" you mean "lots of people died, but nowhere near as many as a world war" though, then sure.

For the "actively supported", where are you getting that information? My impression (from friends in Kiev) is that it's universally condemned.
