Thank you, sawdusty.

Last night I tried to dig out a little more on the history of Crimea. One thing I learned is that far from Crimea becoming more agreeable to becoming part of Ukraine, since 1991 Crimea has continually struggled to get Ukraine to nail down its autonomy. At one point Crimea had a cabinet and a president. It tried to get its own constitution into law. Several times, the world thought Crimea would settle its conflict by rejoining with Russia. Off and on until the pro-Russia Ukrainian govt. was overthrown.

In the articles I read, several from the MSM, Russia stayed neutral re Crimea until 2014.
