All things point to the likelihood that the vote in Crimea on Sunday to secede from Ukraine and become an independent state affiliated with Russia will be overwhelming in favor.
Crimea is historically part of Russia and became part of Ukraine only in 1992. Russian is the language of most of the people. In addition, Vladmir Putin has sent thousands of armed troops into Crimea, and they are taking control of most functions, including the media.
It seems like a very intimidating situation. Will there be any brave people who vote no? Well, actually, there can't be: because "no" is not on the ballot.
But what if they held the referendum -- and nobody came?
