I first said this to a friend earlier in the week, but I figured I would post it here.
My prediction about this impending annexation is that Putin will use the sham votes to say the people want to be a part of Russia. Russia announces they are welcoming the "liberated" and "de-nazified" Ukraine territory back into the welcoming Russian arms.
Russia then claims any attempt by Ukraine to retake their land as an invasion and threatens nuclear weapons use for invading their borders.
