NATO is trying to put the noose around Russia's neck and Russia knows it. Taking Crimea (which was undemocratically ceded to Ukraine 60 years ago) is a strategic maneuvering to get her head out of the noose and to also be able to counter with her navy that is based there, to break NATO's back. Then the Russian navy will be able to move freely into the Mediterranean. I think Russia will take Turkey out next and some north African and Arab states may even send Syrian freedom fighters, from the east and south.
