The Russian military has given Ukrainian forces in Crimea until 03:00 GMT to surrender or face an assault, Ukrainian defence sources have said....
Not really up on the Ukranian military is it any good and what forces are at their disposal?

Until the US start sending in parachutes full of quality gear they are bog standard.

The US will deny this of course.

But it'll end with the Crimea annexed and some sort of boycott of Russian vegetables etc...

That'll teach 'em!
 
Hope the fucking rouble collapses. Boycot anything Russian. Including the dating sites....well maybe not the dating sites, but everything else.

A quick google says that their forces are decent and been deployed all around the world, have strong military links with Poland
Wouldn't last long against the Russkies though
 
Ukraine is also on its own. It is certainly a partner-country of Nato but it has none of the security guarantees that membership of the Atlantic Alliance would bring. There is simply no question of Nato becoming militarily involved in this crisis.

Russia was from the outset in the driving seat in the Crimea. Its deployments there dwarf Ukraine's limited forces in the region.

Looks all over bar the shouting.

Like what? I can't think of anything I've ever bought from Russia. Even vodka is done better by the Poles, French and even the Dutch.

Dunno, maybe your gas or oil? Anyway... I for one certainly won't be Putin up with it.

You should have seen that state owned 'supermarket' during the commie era, 'GUM' I think the state name was, Pre packed packs of pork fat, some very strange hats, the most tacky cutlery you've ever seen, and female assistants with faces like bashed crabs, (not like the luscious supermodel type you see now on holiday.)
 
Why does Russia want Crimea so much ? Looking at my map, Russia is fkin HUGE!!! Crimea just looks a smallish kind of Island at the bottom of Ukraine ...
