We won’t either, and shouldn’t. After 9/11 they gave us free use of former Red Air force bases to supply our forces in Afghanistan. NO treaty, no rent, just handed us the keys.
After Pakistan shut off our supply routes, guess where much of the slack was taken up? The routes thru Russia were utilized more.
They could show us the door anytime as unwelcome ingrates. Russian has been spoken in Crimea and has had some deep relationship with Moscow since 1789. This is much ado about little.
Putin was always going to make this move. He’s not going to allow anything to endanger his naval port on the Black Sea. The population of the Crimea is mostly ethnically Russian, speak Russian and want to stay with Russia. I have no problem with it. As for the rest of the Ukraine they are Ukrainian and they mostly speak Ukrainian. They are Catholics in leaue with Rome and they hate the Russians.
So Putin will end up with the Crimea or at least nominal control over Crimea and the rest of Ukrainia will align with the EU.
Too bad we have a commie stooge in the Whitehouse becuase this would be a great time to put the missile defense sheild in Poland and Chechoslovakia. I don’t worry that much about Russia but I do worry about Iran.
