By the way, there are Russian toops in Ukraine by treaty and the Ukraine has been trying to get them out. Russia is threatening to take over Sevastapol, an important oil port on the Black Sea, if the Ukraine doesn’t let the troops stay. Does that answer one of your questions?
Oh, and by the way, don’t forget that Russia saw a moment of weakness in the USA and annesxed Georgian territory last year. Georgian territory is of important strategic interest to Russia because of its control of oil pipelines

isn’t there anywhere we can stand down?
maybe we review the policy and decide, yes, we stay everywhere....but i have to think that we might be able to withdraw from somewhere, sometime, maybe now.
