Jake, You need to study a little history, what you are fishing for here is "anschluss" with Austria. BTW Putin used the same racial arguments Hitler did. Nothing like going with a tried and true plan. Appeasement ended with Poland, and then tens of millions of folks died in WW2. Mostly without nukes. We can beat that today in a couple of hours. Putin certainly would go further than Crimea given the chance. He wants the buffer states back that Russia lost around the time you were born.
