It was still a protectorate. They never assumed it wouldn't be allied. The Crimea relied on the Ukraine, water, resources, like Ukraine once relied on Russia. The steelworks nearby once made steel for shipyards, and trains, and heavy Russian industry, military, and civilian.

What border do you specifically refer too? The supposed gift of it? It was never that gift. Not in that sense. Not the way that worked. Waterways and use. Would the base disappear. No. Not how that gift worked. It was to insure cooperation. Not the way the EU or Nato proceeded there. But it is what it is, and what it isn't is Ukrainian.

But hell I am not Russian. Don't care. But I am not stupid enough to assume it meant what these idiots today do. Because it didn't.

Border shared, they spoke freaking Russian, it was an open border all the way up until today's conflict and the last few years of bullshit. Where hell it's textbook border dispute. Textbook how to ignite the indigenous population, freaking dispute the simple geography. Hahaha it happens everytime. Some mountain, peninsula, river, and the tribals become cannibals.
