Reports coming in this morning from Crimea are that ethnic cleansing of Tartar and Ukrainians has begun there. This situation is developing into a Kosovo #2 as each day passes.
Here is a pic of what the Russian Militia units are doing to home of Tartar minorities -
(Hope the pics work)
ETHNIC CLEANINGS BEGAN IN CRIMEAN PENINSULA!
Operation name: "Bolshaya Uborka" (Big Cleaning) by unwritten order of Aksyonov.
The purpose of the operation - significant changes of the ethnic composition of the Crimean peninsula.
Targets - representatives of the Crimean Tatars and Ukrainian nationalities.
Original source of report above is a Turkish news report I believe but I lost the link.
This disgrace... and many on here are having a Putin Party.
It's a disgrace.

As I suspected, first pic is a fake. It's from Bosnian war.
Use your heads and check your source.

When asked whether Ukrainian troops would fight to defend Crimea, Tenyukh replied tersely, “The armed forces will execute their tasks, ” later adding, “Ukrainian forces will stay [in Crimea] until all their tasks have been completed.”

Go figure. Accusing the Crimeans of collaborating with neo-nazi's. Isn't that what the Russians and Crimeans said about the new coup installed government in the Ukraine? Both sides finger pointing and claiming the other are a bunch of fascists. Overtones of the buildup to the 2nd world war.

It did kick off and rather peacefully actually,Ukrainians were given a chance to vote on their future,the circumstances were less than perfect however beats absolutely no chance of choosing as the alternative..
Japan on Tuesday said it would slap sanctions on Russia over its "deplorable" move recognising a Crimean vote to break away from Ukraine. "It's deplorable that Russia recognised the independence of the Autonomous Republic of Crimea, a move that violates Ukraine's sovereignty and territorial integrity," the Japanese foreign ministry said in a statement Tuesday.
"Japan will suspend negotiations on easing visa requirements, and will not begin talks on a new investment accord, an outer space accord and an accord aimed at preventing risky military activities," it added, without elaborating.
