If Crimea does become Russian are there concerns Ukraine might take it out on the province in terms of infrastructure such as energy? We saw this happen when Russia shut off gas to Europe years ago. Could it become a nebulous region like Kashmir is viewed by India and Pakistan?
Is there any concern that if this sort of precedent is set provinces all around the world could point to it as legitimate way to leave a country, join a country or found a new new nation? For example, the Basques in Spain. Could we see a new tactic of acquiring resources and land by immigration and elections along border regions?
