Here is Russia's problem in a nut shell:

- Ukraine, which borders Russia, has been in it's sphere of political influence for many years. It was once part of the Soviet Union.
- Crimea, which is part of the southern most Ukraine, was part of Russia until 1954 when it was given to the Ukraine.
- There is a Russian naval base in Crimea which is it's only warm water port and it's only access to the Mediterranean.
- In the Southern and Eastern Ukraine there are millions of people who identify and/or support Russia. some consider themselves more Russian than Ukrainian.
- Russia is not about to let a close neighbour, which it sees as a cousin if you will, and has strategic importance become part of the EU. Imagine if the Mexico decided it wanted to align with Cuba. Would Obama and the military / industrial complex of the USA allow that? No way!
