said, look, you're a free country. We'll leave you alone. Just don't do two things. Don't touch Crimea and don't join NATO. If you do, we're going to blow you off the map. Just don't do that.

It's home to the Black Sea fleet. But more importantly, when you're looking at the Black Sea, it's a major warm water, deep water port. Meaning you could ship goods year round, very, very important, doesn't freeze, and massive ships can pass through, which allows Russia to ship its natural resources and other goods between Europe and Central Asia to the biggest markets in the world outside of the US.
