This Crimea conflict is seemingly out of control. While the invasion was a shock to everyone, I don’t know why- Crimea was formerly a part of Russia, Putin has shown very little regard for the West’s authority in previous engagements, and the EU has no backbone for sanctions or war. Seems like a perfect recipe for a quasi-invasion.
This situation is fascinating. Putin’s decision process always amazes me; he’s portrayed as part genius part lunatic. It’s hard to know whether he’s the chessmaster or whether he’s in over his head.
