Re: Situation in Ukraine
Indeed. I think talking about it and negotiating hard is better than the US complicating things and using it as a platform for flexing their own muscles. The outcome of this could be catastrophic for everybody, especially the countries in Europe who neighbour and could be dragged into a war. I really hope we don't get too involved.

So European NATO members won't do anything unless Uncle Sam comes to help. Also in the end they might ask themselves, why should I help them. They've lost their importance on the world scale and are becoming one big retirement home.
And even if a war broke out the European nations wouldn't be ready for it due to the smaller and smaller armed forcesNever stop dreaming because one day it might happen.

Re: Situation in Ukraine
I'm sick of people that scream the word "War" (the most excited ones even use "World War 3") as if it was something really exciting. Anyways, I don't think there is going to be a real war there. It looks like Putin is trying to show who is the boss by sending the troops in Ukraine. He won't switch to the real actions though

Re: Situation in Ukraine
This is an exempt from article from 2008:
Ukraine is investigating claims that Russia has been distributing passports in the
port of Sevastopol, raising fears that the Kremlin could be stoking separatist sentiment in the Crimea
as a prelude to possible military intervention.
The allegation has prompted accusations that Russia is using the same tactics employed in the
Georgian breakaway regions of Abhkazia and South Ossetia in order to create a pretext for a war.
Russia handed out passports to the residents of the two provinces, which have long looked to Moscow f
or support, five years ago. The Kremlin has justified its invasion of Georgia in terms of defending its
citizens in Abkhazia and South Ossetia from Georgian "aggression".
So Putin uses the same rhetoric and excuses now as when he invaded Georgia....Funny how ev'rything was roses when we held on to the guns...
