Re: Crimea
Surely not all of a sudden. Less than half of a sudden at best.

Re: Crimea
There is a reason the Russians colonized and ethnically cleansed Crimea generations ago: so that it would be Russian. Sheesh.

Re: Crimea
Sevastopol is Russia's only warm water port. They aren't going to turn it over to NATO.
Given that Russia has been invaded by the West on and off since the 13th century, starting with the Teutonic Knights, and, more recently Napoleon and Hitler, Putin thought it strategically wise to maintain a critical military base.

Re: Crimea
I just hope Obama is as furiously Googling "Crimea" as his supporters and detractors on the internet are.

Re: Crimea
I've spent years in the region (Eastern Europe, Central Asia, the USSR and former components thereof). For me, it's like my experience of he United States: there are the people and there is the politics/government. I care deeply about one and the other only to extent that it affects the part I care about.
As a person not directly affected, I've no right to an opinion. They - these people - remain in my heart.
