Crimea has been one of Russia’s main naval ports since the 1700’s. The Ukraine government leased it to the Russians, but the “new government” after the 2014 coup refused to abide by it. So Russia said okay it’s ours now. They aren’t giving that up without a nuclear fight. Still want to fight them over it?Looking back when Putin illegally annexed Crimea, he did so, without killing, bombing, destroying the whole fucking place before being able to have his military conduct a vote. Those people went willingly, but that’s where it ended. The rest is Putin’s mess
