or more precisely, profits, either through market share, resources, or spheres of influence. And EVERY FUCKING ONE OF THE IMPERIALIST POWERS IS IN IT FOR MONEY. That includes Russia, the EU, and the USA. They are ALL imperialist blocs. It just depends on which group of owners you want screwing you.

As to Crimea, Russia has a warm water port now. If it wasn't for that port, Russia wouldn't have wanted Crimea either.
