Putin does have a legitimate point that he is protecting Russians. Although, he is likely more interested in his gas pipelines to Europe that run through Ukraine. Putin is not going to back down.
Imagine the reaction of our government if Texas actually moved to secede from the USA? I don’’t doubt our government would send everything it has to put a stop to it.

Get ready. There is a strong undercurrent of independence brewing in TX right now. Mr. Skittles already stated that he supports a sovereign people to declare their independence in his speech on the Ukraine the other day. So it sounds like he’d be way cool with TX leaving. Oh wait! All that oil and gas....No!!!
Its no secret, Putin wants to reconstitute the old Soviet Union and reestablish its power and influence. He’s already succeeded to a remarkable degree. Look at his actions in Syria, Iran, Egypt, etc. Putin is on the rise; we are on the decline (under Obama).
