It's going to get messy there..

the thing is its the only naval base the Russians have that doesn't freeze in winter.

i just hope none of the troops involved in the stand offs at the military bases gets trigger happy or has an accidental discharge

Russia will do what it likes it knows natos fcked the yanks havent got it in them or the money the thing that does bother them is china what would they do ?

[Huan72 687]

Over the last few years China and Russia have got close including having massive joint war games

They need to split the country along ethic lines asap. Crimea is mostly ethnic Russians these days (partly helped by the Stalin sending the Tartars off to gulags as punishment for aiding the Germans in WW2.

Yeah, things are getting interesting over there. Like Paulus said, it's not likely Russia will just give up it's warm water port. The Crimea is most likely going to stay under Russian control. If that can be achieved peacefully all the better for Putin.

 

But, there is that whole international law thing. With the USA's downsizing of our military over the next year or so. Kicking them out of G-8, or G-20 is going to be about as harsh as we are likely to get. If it comes down to fighting, I think it will be Georgia all over again.

we've sent "baldy" William Hauge......................that will do the trick

[scothunter 12,609]

we should just let the russians do what they are going to do, cause they will anyway,and in between then and now we shouldnt say/do something we might later regret.

 

crimea is russian technically,and putin will not want a civil war so close,it will be quashed and anyone who russia feel a threat,will be purged,

russian soldiers with no insignia on thier uniforms,and mostly with thier faces covered.

 

America and the uk will not go to war with russia,and if im worng and our leaders do decide this is thier only action,then they better undo what they taught our soldiers about compassion and rules of war,cause all that will go out the window.That marine who executed the taliban guy,well bettter let him out of jail.Thats the type of attitude and mentality you will need.

 

Just remember putin is a serious admirer of stalin. "The greatest leader to have ever lived" aye like malt said we dont tread carefully this could be very messy indeed

Tell them Cameron is going to give them a referendum.......that should kill 10 years or so while they decide on a way out ! Lol

Has WW3 started yet then? I'm guessing Paulus is Captain Mannering since he's too old to get called up?

[Nik_B 3,790]

EU countries wont agree to sanctions, imagine what would happen if the Russians turned off our gas supply...that's right we'd have to rely on our windmills and solar panels

[scothunter 12,609]

lets face it here. Putin holds the cards. no way are we going to go military on him,and this crap about sanctions,well dont think that will bother the russian. lol

 

The whole russian parliment,and people are behind putin.having said that woe betide any c**t who isnt lol Not slating my nation here,but ffs that haig looks like a tit. f***ing embarresment having that represent us.

[Nik_B 3,790]

I'd like to know why our moronic politicians think they should hold the high moral ground when it comes to invading countries....talk about hypocrisy
