Perfectly right you are Dave!

Putin opens a pandora box...
and he forgets about what he has in Russia - Chechnya is a little
reminder, but there is a bigger one - Tatarstan,

you, maybe, don't know that Tatars are a second nation in Russia
after exactly Russians and they partly live in Crimea,
if they don't like ( and many of them do don't) what Putin does now,
then Tatarstan may declare the same as Crimea -
referendum of an independence,

and Putin gets the same as he organized in Crimea
(he organized this and nobody else, no doubts!!!)
