@all you crackerJack historians.
crimea had an independence vote in the 90s. perhaps you can all wrap your heads around that one. they never wanted to be in Ukraine, but were forced to by Kiev. in 91 crimea even passed a law stating as such: it was an autonomous republic within ukraine.
Russian soldiers were already in crimea as per the agreement with ukraine prior to the military coup that happened in kiev (not a legitimate act of democracy). these soldiers didn't cross into crimea, they were already there. ukraine collected nearly $1 billion in rental and received a discounted rate on fuel.
Like the russians allowed the soviet union to break into its automonous regions, crimeans were expecting ukraine to follow suit and accept the over 90% majority vote to leave: they didn't though. good enough for the goose, but somehow not for the gander...
