I seem to remember Europe and the previous U.S Administration doing very little to stop Putin Annexing Crimea. Why was that do you think ?

No I don't think they would, I remember reading a future history book by a guy called general Hackett written in the seventies that accurately predicted events up to the collapse of the Soviet regime, pretty much everything in terms of dates was spot on, the only thing he got wrong was they chose Gorbachev as leader instead of a hardliner, which if they had done he had no doubt would've led to WWIII strangely though even once defeated on the battlefield and totally collapsing back home their use of nuclear weapons was very limited, bad luck Birmingham. I don't see why a mere confrontation would immediately mean a jump to nuclear weapons and for the record I'm not advocating military action either, there's better ways to skin a bear.
