What would the US do if there was a revolution in Cuba in which they then became aligned with Russia? Oops, wait, forget that.
Hang on, kinda shows you don’t need to own the freaking country to have major base there. Give Russia unfettered access to the bases and they can be more employer than oppressor. After all those bases have nothing to do with Crimea, all about a naval presence in the region.
