I believe the real question will be if Russia has its sights on Eastern Ukraine as well.

I'm fairly certain that since Kiev is the seat of Ukrainian independence, they'll take Kiev and with it, the rest of the Ukraine.

Then Putin will promise that's all he wants, and after all, it was to protect ethnic Russians in Crimea. And Horseface Kerry will get a "treaty" signed stating that's all Putin wanted, and will wave it around in victory, claiming "Peace in our time!"

History repeats itself. Last time, it was The Sudatenland, this time, Ukraine. Same 5#it, different era, only the names and geography have changed.

I think they have their sights on the whole of the former Warsaw Pact countries that used to be Soviet satellites. I've gotten reports that the Russians are sending in lots of men and supplies to Moldova which is located between Romania and Ukraine.

They have their sights on all of The Ukraine, and every other former Soviet territory.
