The only thing Putin is mad about is the collapse of his beloved EVIL EMPIRE.
1) Crimea has been part of Ukraine for decades now, and just being formally a part of another country once doesn't mean it's okay to invade. This would justify any violence over perceived land ownership at any time.
3) The Russians ethnically cleansed German farmers and other ethnicities in Ukraine, including in Crimea. They also killed between 2 to 7 million Ukrainians in the Holodomor. If the land belongs so much to the Kremlin, why the mass murder throughout Soviet history?
4) Crimea is geographically a part of Ukraine. Russia doesn't even have a land connection to the territory. This is like some other country laying claim to Florida as a natural part of their nation.
5) Russia has no free and fair elections, and has slowly been centralizing power under Putin for years now. Not even governors are democratically elected, but are appointed from on high.
6) On top of having no free and fair elections, Russia is a country where innocent people are routinely murdered, or beaten, or persecuted for not supporting the regime.
7) Russia is anti-American, anti-NATO, no matter who we have in charge, and are the allies of Islamic states like Iran, and criminal regimes like Syria, Venezuela, and communist Cuba.
What 5 through 7 mean is that the poster, apparently, thinks it's a positive thing that the Crimeans are enslaved to a country that is a mortal enemy of our nation.
~If Putin was so mad that Khruschchev gave Crimea to Ukraine, then why did Putin loyally serve Khrushchev as a member of the KGB?

LOL. Learn some history. Khruschev has died before Putin was old enough to get any job.
