Ukraine is basically telling the Soviets...er...Russians, to get out.

If your going into the “ war mongering “ business be prepared to have the contractors raise the rates. The US pays a lot for our excursions and Russia is finding out how much the world will charge for such actions.

WHOA! Ballsy move on the part of Ukraine. I work with a Ukrainian kid, I need to get his take on all the BS the Rooskies have been pulling of late.

Match the rental cost to the cost of the natural gas that Russia sends to Ukraine + 50%. If they don't pay, sink ALL the Russian ships in Ukrainian waters and watch Russia growl in pain.

Ukraine is playing a dangerous game. Hope they can back up their rhetoric (without our support).

Heh heh heh...

This is going to be the next Danzig/Polish Corridor situation, and we all know what that led to.

[Arkinsaw]

Ukraine is on its own until we can slap the Europeans enough to get them into NATO. Once they are in NATO the problem is over. But until then, they should probably walk fairly carefully

[Humvee]

If I were the Ukrainians I would be coordinating my military defense with Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia, Poland, Bulgaria, & Romania. As a group they could stand up to the Soviets. Otherwise it will be hang divided. This crap is going to get real grim real fast.
