Can appreciate that, have friends from bordering countries and there are some stories to hear! Hard to fix if it's that deeply ingrained in the 'everyday'.
But Putin and Crimea, any different to a coup in a comonweath country like Australia, instigated in order for the counrty to be realigned politically with, say, China. And us stepping in, and saying, 'not on our (former) turf' ?
