Oh, snap. That could do it. Depending on a myriad of circumstances and choices, of course.

AFP BREAKING: 2,000 Russian soldiers land in "armed invasion" of Crimea: Kiev official


British Foreign Secretary Hague headed to Ukraine this weekend.

Ukraine's acting president formally accuses Putin of "provocations" in Crimea.

Ukraine's president says his army will not respond to the provocations to war.

Crimea now: air area closed, TV occupied, telecommunications knocked out, Russian armored vehicles head for capital

...


Germany and Obama both warning Russia not to invade. You really think Putin is gonna listen to a GIRL!? Or Angela Merkel for that matter?

The US will do nothing but posture about red lines that can't be crossed.

I'm sure the UN will issue yet another of those "deeply concerned" statements along with an outburst of hand wringing for the cameras. Vladimir will be totally ignorant of this proclamation unless one of his judo buddies mentions it over coffee.

Dear God. Don't know what's worse, a world war or a terrible plot becoming real.

Who is considering opposing where and how many Russian troops get moved?

Does anyone believe this joke of an administration is going to do anything about it?

Do elections ramping up (here) have anything to do with what Russia decides to do? Imagine the leftists attacking the warhawks for even suggesting we get involved in any way, shape or form. It's almost a perfect design.

Jokes about objections and strongly worded letters aside...

What would some of you folks have the US government do about this?

 

[Disposable Heart]

Well, let's take a look at the pics of the airport "gunmen": Body armor, similar helmets to current Russian issue, optic packages on AKs (Russian versions of CCOs), a guy toting a PKM but hanging in an area where he can drop behind cover NEAR AN ENTRY POINT to a building and use the PKM as a support weapon... These guys know what they are doing...

My exact thoughts when they were first shown on the news. News kept saying "gunmen". There was nothing irregular about these guys, they were obviously trained troops. In another thread somebody says they are contractors hire by the Russians.

As the New Soviet Union forms, maybe we'll get back to a Red Scare in America where we can freely deport commies! Look at the bright side!

 

[LEaSH]

Nothing as well.

Let Europe get off their collective dead asses and pretend to do something for a change.

 

[Trigger Time]

I don't trust the Russians at all. If there is ever a WWIII I'm confident Russia will have played a role I starting it. We should have listened to General Patton and attacked Russia after WWII.
