The writer didn't know that Sevastopol was already the main Russian naval base for the Black Sea? I thought it was more nuanced than that. From memory, there were plans on renovating a school in Sevastopol by US, before Crimean referendum, so the US already had designs on Crimea. Importantly, Ukraine was *leasing* Sevastopol to RF, at that point. Very, very unlikely that Simplicus did not know this. Perhaps it's just the way he expressed himself without placing it into context imo.
