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

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

No, I think you need to look further East.

The US, UK and Russia all guaranteed Ukraine's borders. Russia has now apparently breached that memorandum.

It seems clear that Crimea will end up being part of Russia and there's nothing that Ukraine or the West can do about it. It's surprising that it was given to Ukraine in the first place as 60% of the population is Russian anyway with only 25% Ukrainian. They'll probably hold a referendum to legitimise the takeover at some point.

More horror from the Crimea.

It will go the same way as Georgia. Putin is a politician first and a tyrant second. He is playing to the crowd. His country is all but bankrupt, there is a massive lack of organisation there. He is doing what Israel do and pursuing a hard ball policy. It's deflection. Let's just hope the west don't bite. Germany need to sort this one out I.suspect! I wonder how many Russians are appreciating their leaderships posturings!

The Russian military has given Ukrainian forces in Crimea until 03:00 GMT to surrender or face an assault, Ukrainian defence sources have said....

Still waiting on the American response.

But i'll still be waiting all week and forever.

Not really up on the Ukranian military is it any good and what forces are at their disposal?

The scariest thing about this world war is that we are on the side of the Germans. They have never won a world war!!
