Then again, not even the cowardly commander-in-chief is THAT stoopid. Hell, he ignored Benghazi.

Obviously you are not up on Russian History...
Kruschev gave the Crimea to Ukraine in 1954. It has always and has been Russian...

Go back a few more centuries and you'll find out it wasn't Kruschev's to give.
sure it was,,,,
After the fall of the Soviet Union in 1991, Crimea became part of independent Ukraine, and Moscow and Kyiv agreed to divide up the former Soviet Black Sea Fleet. Crimea's port city of Sevastopol remains the base for Russia's Black Sea Fleet.
Ethnic Russians account for 58 percent of Crimea's population, while Ukrainians make up 24 percent. Crimean Tatars, who began returning to the peninsula from exile after the fall of the Soviet Union, comprise 12 percent of its population.
In a recent poll of Russians by the state-run All-Russia Center for the Study of Public Opinion, 56 percent of the respondents said they saw Crimea as belonging to Russia.
