Russia will not give up the Crimea, anymore than we would give up Hawaii.

Crimea is not Russia's to "give up".

Ask a Russian.

Seriously.

They fought over the Crimea many times over the centuries, have a large amount of military forces there, not to mention the majority of the population self identifies as “Russian.”

Nations are not the same as borders in geography.
