      Russia lost in Afghanistan (a much smaller and weaker country than Ukraine), they can lose here too.

        Afghanistan was a colonial war. Crimea is the only base Russia has in hot seas. Major wars was fought to conquer it. So USA cannot win a war because they too had lost in Afghanistan? And the enemy was even weaker, without any major power support ( see Rambo 3 for reference )

          Novorossiysk (sp?) Only needs to be dug out IIRC. Might he cheaper than maintaining Crimea.
