Obama will take the phone off the hook before the 3AM call comes through.
Puti’s panties in a wad?
Their goose was cooked the second Ubama drew another red line. Putin doesn't cotton to Ubama's red lines very well.
I suspect should an entry happen it will be from the south to settle any scores there first and if from the south they may move .... I know not if to the north they shall go. putin (imho) knows most of his problem is in the north. putin might open a can of worms he will not be able to ever containerize ever. putin maybe is simply thinking worms ... fishing trip. Not certain with former kgb.
2014 rhymes with 1914.
Even if he loses the Western Portion to the E.U. or Poland or whoever. It sounds like he will keep the Eastern Portion and Regain the Crimea. Which of Course houses the Black Sea Fleet.
Not a bad gain for the Ruskies.
If the ethnic Russians in Ukraine’s Crimea region decide to seek independence, I fear Europe will have a war on its hands.

Putin will have his naval base, period.
How many will die in the process is the only remaining question.

“Putin orders test of Russian forces amid Ukraine crisis”
mark
“...where it said Russian speakers were being deprived of rights. It has repeatedly expressed concern for the safety of Russian citizens in Ukraine....”
Damn... he’s taking a page right out of Hitler’s “Germans in the Czech Sudetenland” playbook...
It’s blatant as hell.
Ah, the ol’ “We’ve got to protect the ethnic Russians” routine.
Well, that answers that question.
Russia will not give up the Crimea, anymore than we would give up Hawaii.
Good thing we have a Vietnam War hero as Secretary of State. He’ll show those Russians what difference it makes.
Here we go. Time for a round of golf!
This was very predictable. Putin has nothing to fear from the ball less red liner in the Sand.
Putin will make moves leading to retaining the Russian Naval Base like we did with Gitmo in Cuba.
Then, he will accommodate the majority of people in the Ukraine who are Russian. Then we will probably see two Ukraines. One that is pro Russia and allied with Russia. The other will be various minorities and a lot of Muslims.
I predicted this possible outcome yesterday.

Hagle and Herr Obozo will downsize our army, weaken our Navy and may be do away with our Air Force.
Then, Herr Obozo and Kerry will defend the gays and Muslims in that area. After that, Herr Obozo and his pal Kerry will draw more red lines like they did in Syria and other places.
Putin will ignore the so called Red Lines. He will treat their naval base and port like we do Gitmo.
We will then probably see the Ukraine area divided into two camps, Muslim and other minorities in one area, and then the majority into a Russian state in the other area.
“This is my last election... after my election I will have more flexibility.”
The real prize here is the eastern Ukrainian sections of the country, especially the nickel mines.
Worst case scenario is Ukraine loses the provinces south and east of the Dneiper, including Crimea, which becomes a Russian state.
