Can I get a quick rundown on Crimea?

eppie, some of what you say is true. Problem is, both Russia and the US signed up for security guarantees for Ukraine as part of the dissolution deal, and as part of the "get rid of the nukes" deal. That raises the political stakes for the US, and somewhat for the European allies of the US.

The newer members of NATO: Poland, Estonia, Latvia, Hungary ... they are watching with some alarm as the bear wakes up.
