"I think it's part of a long-term strategy on Putin's part to create a Russian sphere of influence, a Russian bloc," Gates said, adding later: "I don't think he will stop in Ukraine until there is essentially a pro-Russian government in Ukraine, in Kiev."

If the most Russian areas of Ukraine go back to Russia, will that help put a pro-Russian government in Kiev?

Not saying putting a pro-Russian government in charge in Kiev isn't possible, but it seems like Putin has an odd way of going about doing so in the post-Soviet, post-superpower era.

“Paris is next”

Perhaps a little far-fetched, but if Putin gets enough leverage, look for NATO to be split with a good number going to the dark side in order to protect themselves.

Paris is next.

Ridiculous.

The Ukraine is essentially a deadbeat nation that can’t even pay its discounted gas bills. Yet they terminally cry about being oppressed. I’m not sure why people are crying for them. And Putin wants nothing to do with Ukraine in terms of invading it.
