Riots in Ukraine

[TheFinnFan]

Putins matey and his motorcycle gang "Wolves of the Night" are patrolling in border areas. Buahaha..

...btw...Olympics were a perfect platform for boosting their nationalistic ambitions. Propaganda games. Just..like..Berlin games.

"ukraine closes air space and warns "we are on the edge of a great disaster"...

i've not been following this at all, why has russia put troops in someone else's country without permission ?

they are "protecting their owns citizens"...just like nazis did in Sudetenland 1938

The Ukrainian PM has just called the Russian 'invasion/occupation' a "declaration of war" and has ordered the mobilisation of the army.

[Mrk]

Russian forces are now surrounding a Ukrainian military base in Crimea.

they have about 1 million men but other stuff is old stuff from russia. they have no chance without help.
now we will see if NATO has ANY muscles at all. this is good test for them.

ruskies will take crimea and will not give it away. sad stuff....i hope someone would "light a star" in putins forehead.

 

[rascal]

I see NATO's Rasmussen has said that Russia presented threat to peace and security in Europe.

Absolutely laughable to those with even the minimal amount of knowledge on the subject.

Get the horses saddled up lads.......

A bit of quid pro quo is needed here. Obama needs to quietly suggest that either Russia gets out of Crimea or, because Russia has been two faced at the UN in saying that troops should not intervene in Syria due to Sovereignty, Syria gets a kicking.....over to you Mr President........
