I finally figured out why Russia cares so much about Sevastopol. It’s their only deep water port on the Black Sea (they have other warm water ones)
Still dumb and playing checkers instead of chess. NATO enlargement and as ever, China is the threat to Russia. Siberia is gone and with it Russia’s aggrieved and (now) militarily experienced Caucasian Muslims will rebel

crimea is one thing they want, but its part of a bigger picture of border defenses and their southern flank being nice warm flatlands very welcoming to an invading force
why the russians still think they are gonna get invaded is another story
and they still have kaliningrad as a warm water port, but that's not exactly in russia.
