After the coup, Uke nazi militias attacked the Russian speaking east that opted out of being ruled by the new coup government. Russia assisted right away. Crimea saw what the nazis were doing in the Donbass and the mass murder of Russian speakers in Odessa so the seceded and backed it up with a vote. Russia didn’t “invade” Crimea, they were already there as they had been since 1782.
You are stoned on State Department Nuland weed cookies if you think they were going to let a coup in Kiev force them to turn over the Sevastopol Navy base they have been using since Catherine the Great to NATO.
Silliness. Try to keep up.
Oh, separatists that were imported over the decades by Lenin and Stalin et al after the Holodomor to dilute the Ukrainian populace with ethnic Russians were opposed to remaining with Ukraine. How utterly shocking.
