The benefits of having it under control outweigh the cons for them

Giving that it is a militarily strategic location

Also the Russians don't fuck around to unrest. Just ask the Chechnians

So the people are essentially fucked?

Pretty much

Might as well just completely fuck them and make it an empty plot of land.

Remember when Russia began invading Afghanistan?

no

Ukranian refugees should go to the middle east

Squat all around their mosques, see how they like it

So Russians really are just braindead shitlords?

They are not a nation you want to fuck with unless you are willing to go all the way

No, they're not.

Russians are far from braindead

They just either go hard or not at all.

No inbetween with Russia

shit or bust

@SmunketTV The Crimean Oblast was given over to the Ukraine in 1954 during the time of the USSR.

We almost went to war with them multiple times

back then there was no need to worry about borders

Aye, and it would've been a heavy cost for both sides

Last patrol I had in the black sea they almost shot down a Turkish MPA (Maritime Patrol Craft) while we were sailing in there. Turkey is a NATO partner FYI

They give zero fucks

At least it's not the balkans
