Yep.
...Kiev Gov. is calling the Pro-Russian Militias terroists in order to justify sending troops, (they cannot otherwise without declaring war), because the EU and US will not and cannot support Kiev Government...
Yep, keep in mind the US can take no LEGAL action without UN approval, impossible considering Russia - China (and possibly others) veto.
Not so sure the US would restrain as much as Russia has so far if this was happening on our borders...
Depends on who or what was gettin' in.
I can see Russia sending Chechens to fight the Nazi elements that are increasing in numbers in Ukraine.
Saved best for last,
Putin's Russia is the only entity in history that has co-opted and forced a Muslim military to abandon it's loyalty to the Islamic people of it's namesake, and to fight as mercenaries for Islam's enemy, Christianity. No small feat.
Obama is doing the opposite.
Agree, but they can dance around getting UN approval by claiming what they are doing is "assisting" the Kiev Gov. control the criminal/terrorist element...and then run these under-groups where they want them..particularly the right Sector thugs, who are numerous. Coupled with the Nazi element they have an "army".
It will get terribly and horribly bloody if the Chec's and Nazi's go at it. Not to mention fear ravaged in Ukraine....which as these numbers grow, and the population already seeing them, they are already afraid...they do not see the US helping so they will indeed cry out to Russia then who would be more than happy to accommodate the need.
