Crimea doesn't have anything to do with the United States.

The situation in Crimea is a severe and obvious infringement of international law—the United States isn't making a statement because of Cold War era rivalries, it's making a statement because, like any other non-rogue state, it's interested in defending a fellow nation's sovereignty and upholding order. Russia's entry into Crimea was illegal, their continued occupation of the peninsula is illegal, and the referendum in Crimea, regardless of whether or not you personally consider it fair, is also inarguably illegal. The international community should be doing [i]more[/i], not less, to pressure Russia out of the peninsula.
