In this Dad Tangent, we take a lighthearted look at the 2014 Crimea “referendum” — the vote that offered two choices and neither involved staying with Ukraine. History with Dad breaks down how Russia staged the ballot, why international observers called it illegal, and what the numbers really meant. Turns out democracy gets tricky when all the boxes lead to Moscow.
