Donald Trumps Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 If Russia starts handing out their passports to Russian-speaking Ukranians who are demanding them then partition (or usurpation into the Russian state) is inevitable Ukraine proper, the US & probably the EU will take this very badly indeed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woolley Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 If Russia starts handing out their passports to Russian-speaking Ukranians who are demanding them then partition (or usurpation into the Russian state) is inevitable Ukraine proper, the US & probably the EU will take this very badly indeed Particularly given the tortuous history of the region, especially Crimea being passed from pillar to post down the years. I can't see Putin losing too much sleep over what Ukraine, the US and particularly the EU think. He may make a miscalculation of the consequences of his actions one day, but I can't see anyone being keen to die in a ditch over Ukraine. But we'll see.

Thomas Jefferson Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 A country is being torn apart due to it being caught in the overlapping spheres of influence of Russia and the EU. Or so they'd like us to believe. It's classic divide and conquer. Russia, China, the EU, America -- all controlled by the same globalist oligarchy. They put on a big show of being rivals, and there may be some rivalry, but ultimately the ones at the top are playing for the same team.

P.K. Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 It would appear troops are "occupying" the airport in Sevastopol. They could simply be pro-Russian militia or they could be Russian Federation. I imagine someone is planning ahead for an evacuation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donald Trumps Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 It's amazing how all these unbadged troops have suddenly appeared out of nowhere - no one admits to knowing who they are Can't see Russians evacuating Crimea - there's too many of them * Ukrainian Chief of Staff has been sacked Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They will take it back now and reintegrate it into Russia for similar political reasons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lxxx Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 Most sensible thing will be to partition Ukraine between West and East of the country (who will look towards the EU and Russia respectively) and move on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
