They occupied and annexed part of Ukraine a few years ago

Research the demographics of Crimea. It's population is overwhelmingly Russian speaking and adheres to the Russian Orthodox faith. Crimea was part of Russia from the early 1700's to the 1950's when it was ceded overnight to the Ukraine with zero input from Crimean residents. The Crimean population wants to be a part of Russia. This isn't a secret.

Okay, you have a good point. But does that make it okay to just send troops into another country and occupy/annex it? No. This is 2017. The world isn't supposed to work that way anymore.
