The Russians are on their way...why am I not shocked.

So their Navy chief has defected now...

Have no fear we are sending over our secret weapon.

William Hague.

That'll teach 'em :-)

It is high time that little pipsqueak Hague and the rest of the UK government realised Britain is a bankrupt little island that has no place getting involved in an event that has nothing to do with us. Next he will be guaranteeing Ukraine's borders, that worked well last time and we can do as little to help Ukraine right now as we could to defend Poland's borders in 1939. Who cares about Ukraine, it is irreverent to us, who was even aware of what was happening there a few months or weeks ago? What happens next is to is up to the Ukrainians and Russians to decide, the west should stay well clear.

True, I mean who cares about Czech in 1938, or Poland, or Austria-Hungary, or the Russian Empire.

we can do as little to help Ukraine right now as we could to defend Poland's borders in 1939

Yeah, we had no response to that APART FROM LITERALLY STARTING A WORLD WAR BETWEEN ALL THE SUPERPOWERS.

Once again the West is meddling in another country for their own imperialist reasons, just like with Libya, and Syria. Who are the US supporting in Ukraine? A bunch of Neo Nazi's.

“The utter criminality of Washington’s drive to install a pliant regime in Kiev sharply emerges in Nuland and Pyatt’s discussion of Oleh Tyahnybok, the leader of the neo-fascist Svoboda party (who recently met with John McCain in Kiev). Nuland describes Tyahnybok as one of the “big three” within the opposition leadership. These remarks confirm that there is no confusion whatsoever within the Obama administration that it is working in partnership with fascist movements in Ukraine,”

Poll after poll has shown that a majority of Ukrainians want to join the EU. And think of all the other Ukrainians who just want Russia to piss off. You can't take one picture of a neo-nazi and say the whole other 53 per cent of Ukrainians are Nazis.

I'm glad you weren't around in 1938.

Appalling isolationist view.

This is all the EU's fault. They are needlessly whipping up the situation

The EU are making this bigger then it needs to be.

Is there any chance of this turning into a war? sorry I started following it late.

My Cat went out again tonight even though there was a chance of light drizzle.

There very well may be a conflict (War by proxy) within the region but I wouldn't rush off to the enlistment center just yet, despite what some sandwich box doom and gloomers think on this thread.

Expect a few diplomatic exchanges followed by both or one of either backing down.
