Why do you care if Russia want to retake over some country that they first took 231 years ago in 1783?
It only became part of Ukraine in 1953 and was all part of the Soviet Union then so it didn't really make any difference. Crimea is and autonomous republic anyway so elected it's own parliament so was as good as an independent country with the majority of it's population seeing themselves as Russian.
What do you see is wrong with what has happened and why should we do anything about it?
Why is it that in this and other western countries we always assume the under dog is correct and the big boys are the evil ones we should stop?
