“Russian soldiers attack Ukrainian military base in Crimea ... There were no reports of shots being fired.”
Did someone revise the definition of attack ?
I guess Putin could give 2 craps about what 0 or Kerry say.
And barry hits the links.
unreal.
Everything I am hearing makes it clear...at least to this point...that the Russians are occupying these bases.
No shots have been fired either in the taking of them, or defending them.
My guess is that the Ukranina soldiers are under oders not to shoot unless fired upon.
The Ukraine, at least in Crimea, is tryong to avoid giving Putin any pretext to open fire and have an excuse for trying to take even more of the Ukraine.
In 2010, Ukraine petitioned to become a member of NATO, which was rejected. The NATO Charter states that “an attack on one, is an attack on all”, so we could very well have been facing a war with Russia, had they joined. It still may come to that though. In 1990, we had no alliance with Kuwait, yet we still went to war. of course in 1990, we had a REAL president also.
Oh for Pete’s sake, Obama’s on vacation. This can wait.
How 19th Century of the Russkies. Don’t they know we are in the 21st Century now? Time for J Effin to wave a paper in the air.
Ukraine crisis: Armed men 'seize Crimea military base'
Armed men thought to be Russian have seized a Ukrainian military base in the Crimean city of Sevastopol.
However, the Reuters reporter said he could not see sign of any damage to the gate and that the armed men appeared to have taken control without a shot being fired.
A Ukrainian military official, Vladislav Seleznyov, said no-one was hurt.
I guess they must've been trained to fight by the French.
At this point, what difference does it make?
Putin is trying very hard to provoke a violent response and the Ukrainians know this. Eventually the Russians will start shooting.
Have the Ukes fired a single shot in their own defense yet? If the answer is “no”, then why should anyone do anything to help them?
Any Republicans for declaring war?
Any Democrats for declaring war?
Any Conservatives for declaring war?
Take back the color blue.
