You know what...I may be the only one to think this, but I believe Putin will stop at Crimea. (Not that he wouldn't like to take all of eastern Europe.) Here's why. Crimea should have been with Russia in the first place, this is just a little border re-structuring (extremely painful to the Crimeans, though).
Russia's economy is already in the toilet... they will have sanctions and will need to pump in additional money to Crimea (~$3bn/year vs 2 with Ukraine) they are looking at a BAD year or two.
Ukraine is still supplying power to Crimea, so Russia has to stay on good terms with them at least until Russia builds up the Crimean infrastructure.
Putin is a cold, cunning, calculating man... what Russia gains (as mentioned earlier) is a warm water port.

You want some cartoons about the past? I will send you some about Hitler. You should really identify.

I think you are correct about Putin stopping at Crimea. Besides, Crimea serves an important strategic point for Russia in the Black Sea region. I strongly doubt Putin is interested in marching into the rest of Ukraine, and the potential headaches an occupation would bring. Although I'm not so sure about it being particularly painful to the Crimeans... the great majority of them seem to be quite content with what has happened.

Plus, the Ukraine will move towards the west and I guess they just signed a deal that is the first step towards joining the EU.
