Putin on Crimea Vote - Ukraine Crisis Latest

BBC News: Reports the following, " Russian President Putin recognises Crimea as nation ".
Lets Get Real:
This is an interesting move by Putin, it allows him a get out clause, the Kremlin is wondering if the new sanctions have any effect on Putin' s supporters and it allows Moscow to go either way, if Putin thinks that the West will never impose tougher sanctions he can take Crimea, if on other hand more serious sanctions come that  effect him he might decide to allow Crimea to stay in limbo, part of Russia without being a formal part of Rusisia, interesting strategic move by Moscow.
