Regardless of a rigged referendum, you're complaining about sovereign nations willingly joining a union while supporting the use of force to annex territories from sovereign nations, a practice that also included ethnic cleansing in some cases.
It's just silly that you would even make that free will is worse than military invasions.
Wait, you mean a country that hasn't had a free and fair election since 1990 manipulated a referendum vote to be in their favor?! I am shocked! Shocked, I say!
