On another note - that to my knowledge never gets mentioned -:

Russia’s resolute take of Crimea - though one might want to argue about how lawful it was - from what I see

a) prevented this conflict from escalating further since Putin knew Obama was weak. But

b) also kept 10s of thousands fully autos from organized crime in Europe.

Crimea is/ was an assembly of huge military bases. Because Crimea - since forever - was a main battlefield for civilization.

It is reported that within the first couple of months after Maidan approximately 30.000 AK47 went missing from military bases all over Ukraine.

Putin knew that this would also happen to Ukrainian bases on Crimea. Which is why his forceful procedure was necessary.

And I am only talking about guns. Ignoring the rest of the arsenal.

Just take into account the migrant crisis starting one year later - with today approximately 300.000 unidentified migrants living in Germany alone.
