Many of you young people see countries such as Russia and China on the same level of values as does the Western world, but that simply is not the case here, or was it ever, and I won't be debating the issue.)

Commented in one of the myriad of Ukraine threads but it fits here as well... I keep reading comments about how Obama has no nads and hasn't 'done anything', Obama needs to 'do' something, the U.S. is just rolling over, etc. So what exactly do all you parental basement dwelling, armchair generals suggest we do? Should we bomb Russia? Send troops to the Ukraine? A naval confrontation? What exactly? Is there anything that you can conjure-up that would cause Putin to back down? Cause I, for one, would love to hear it. I can think of any number of things that would make a dangerous and bad situation exceedingly worse and cost the U.S. in every sense of the word but am at a loss to find an upside move. So, I'd love to hear yours. By the comments I've read you clearly must have a plan.

17:18: Interfax-Russia news agency is now quoting a spokesman for the Russian Black Sea Fleet denying reports about an ultimatum being issued to the Ukrainian troops in Crimea. "This is nonsense", a spokesman said. "We are getting used to daily reports accusing us of preparing to military action against our Ukrainian colleagues. We will not be pushed towards a head-on confrontation."

But the "Ultimatum" was reported by the ohh so "reliable" and "unbiased BBC"
Maybe this will help a bit: Neo-Nazis
And this: Neo-Nazis-2
Good read since so many compare Putin's actions to "Hitler's Annexations". So much for USA/NATO "Moral High Ground."
Economic sanctions .... Have Russia blackballed from the G-8 and the G-20.

Aye, it's like someone else said, you gotta hand it to the Russians, they secured almost all of Crimea's strategic points without firing one bullet.
I think unless some outside provocations are made Russia will just let them set up shop, so that those radical right wings don't get any crazy idea's in their head.
Btw the new government in Kiev appointed 2 members of extreme right parties to be defense something something.edit on rdAmerica/Chicago303000000k2014 by MessageforAll because: (no reason given)
