And also, didn't Russia just ANNEXED Crimea?

Crimea was part of Russia from 1783 to 1954. In 1954, the ethnic Ukrainian Nikita Khrushchev transferred Crimea to Ukraine illegally, despite the peninsula having a solid ethnic Russian majority. As a result of ethnicide from the Ukrainians (such as ban on the usage of Russian language), the Crimeans voted to go back to Russia. There was no annexation.

The world does not recognize the annexation of Crimea. Only Russians think so. Also peoples have the right to self-determination but only a part of the country on whose territory they reside. You forgot the reaction of Russia to self-determination of the Chechen Republic?

It is only the world government that can not recognize the annexation of the Crimea, because it is not profitable for them. Most of the population of Crimea and even some Ukrainians consider themselves Russians and speak Russian.

You confuse the question of nationality and the state. Everyone knows that in Brighton most live Russian. Imagine if the Russians take over all police stations and hold a fake referendum on the accession Brighton beach to Russia. Think about it.
