Most of the Ukrainian Navy resigned last week, I’m not shocked, It’s a Russian Navy. The Black Sea Fleet.

A soveriegn country full of people loyal to another country.

Just remember this during the AMNESTY debates

And it’s likely that most of the Ukraine Armed Forces are loyal to President Yanukovich, not to the unelected gang in Kiev.

>>Ukraine has virtually no Navy. The flagship of the NAVY of Ukraine “Hetman Sahaidachny” today switched to our side. They hung out St. Andrew’s flag.<<

They don’t have air force as well. How could a dozen Russians arrive to a major airbase in Crimea and capture it without a shot fired? It seems like Ukrainian military has picked sides and don’t want Galician Nazis to run the show.

It’s not good for the Ukrainians. Can they even trust their own military?

The flagship of the NAVY of Ukraine "Hetman Sahaidachny" today switched to our side. They hung out St. Andrew's flag.

So they defected to Scotland?

I wonder if there are any “Ukranians” on the ships that defected. Or are they all “Russian”?
