Well that and the US didn't annex the entire state of Guantanamo, only held onto its own base when Castro came in. If that's all Russia did too (its bases are also under treaties) then the comparison would work better.

It's far easier to completely control the island of Crimea as a whole than just one city - Sevastopol. I don't like the whole ordeal either, starting with what happened in Kiev or even going back to the events in Kosovo, which serve as a justification for what is happening now.
