Warmongering on the Crimea

Warmonger John McCain is blasting Congress for doing nothing about Russia wanting to annex the Crimea. He also has the support of warmonger Secretary of State Kerry.
The Crimea is presently a part of Ukraine. It is mostly populated by Russians. They have a tendency to side with a Russian alliance, rather than a Western European alliance. The situation presumably will be resolved in a forthcoming plebiscite, where the populace will vote on whether they become part of Russia or maintain their position as part of Ukraine.
McCain and Kerry don't like that. Presumably for reasons of American power, they think the Crimea should remain part of Ukraine, which also should maintain alliance with Western Europe. Sounds kinds of crazy to me. Who is the US to tell the Crimean's who they should have an alliance with? Apparently, the European Union, which is Western Europe, has not taken any particular side on this. Western Europeans are generally socialists and might tend to favor an alliance with Russia, which is also socialist. Are we going to start fighting the whole world to convert them to some form of government equivalent to the US corrupt socialistic system that we have, or should logic and respect for individual freedoms prevail?
It is also said that the reason the Western Europeans are taking a neutral stand is because they obtain a good percentage of their energy in the form of gas and oil from Russia. Well, to me that's a good reason. Why bite the hand that feeds you. The US is had many opportunities to help Western Europe with their needs for oil and have messed it up by concentrating on green energy and penalizing US oil and gas production wherever possible.
