The Crimeans wanted to be apart of Russia, but apperently Democracy doesn't matter, Yes it was mostly over Natural Gas as resources are begining to run out but still, that doesn't make the Crimean and East Ukrainian's right to succed any less important. When the Soviet Union collpased and many countries became soverign the entire country became soverign, not only the people who wanted to so the East Ukrainians may have been Ethnicly Russian and wanted to be Russian but due to pre existing political divisions of the Soviet Union the entire region became Independant. Crimea was only made apart of Ukraine when Ukraine was simply like a state of the Soviet Union. A bit like if the US federal government made The south of Oregon apart of California, the the US collapses and loses an eight of it's states. Thoses people in Oregon-now California- may want to rejoin Oregon as they had no say because all of California succeded or The Californians succeded but because they were a minority different to thr Californians succession was voted for or fought for and they didn't want to succed but had to.
