The Russian Goal in the War on Crimea

The Russian goal is to protect the people of Crimea in Donbass as they see it. The Russians will not try to conquer all of Ukraine certainly the western half of Ukraine I think they'll stay far away from that because it's filled with ethnic Ukrainians who hate the Russians. There will be a great deal of ethnic cleansing lots of ethnic Ukrainians will move out of the Russian dominated areas into the Ukraine rump state. A lot of Russian speakers and ethnic Russians who are in that Ukrainian rump state will move in the other direction.
