Russo–Georgia War Redux

Radio Free Europe reported that "The Russian Consulate in Simferopol has been aggressively issuing Russian passports to ethnic Russian Crimeans." So, the Russians are doing what they had done to Georgians during the invasion in 2008. At that time, the Russians were also aggressively issuing Russian passport to the ethnic Russians living in now-Independent (self-declared) region of Abkhazia and South Ossetia. So a Georgia War 2008 scenario is now being copied to the Crimea region of Ukraine. Sooner or later, Crimea would declare their Independent (since 60% are Russians), but only recognized by Russia not the West. Now the only wild card would be the respond of EU and the United States of America.
