Yup

Its quite hard to believe that there are actually people who believe that invading and annexing part of a neighbouring country is acceptable and that this doesn't demonstrate warlike intentions. Some of this thread borders on the surreal.

Split it in two: Russia recovers East Ukraine and Crimea, and Poland recovers West Ukraine :dozey:

Well the result was never in doubt, looks like the situation is becoming more grave as we speak.

Hear hear, HARUMPH!!!
That would be like Mexico taking the whole South-west of 'merikuh!
It's ours fair and square....(what possible claim could they have??? Harumph!)

They should do like "we" do and invade countries far away that they have little to no contact with...


So much easier when your citizens can't find it on the map..eh, wot, ol' chum?

And Germany recovers Western Poland, job done, everybody's happy!

You guys don't get it. Your sarcasm is out of tune. How can you be not sympathetic to the great cause of Crimean independence. Never ever since 1991 have the Crimean people put up with the Ukrainian occupation. Millions of them, young and old equally, lived and breathed the dream of independence. Their powerful multi-million pro-independence rallies showed to the whole world their unbroken spirit. The head of their independence movement became a spiritual guru for all the progressive people on the planet. Too bad I forgot his name. Has none of you participated in protests near Ukrainian Embassies against the torture of Crimean activists, death camps and martial law? Now our brothers in Crimea are free and we all celebrate this.

And once again I remember the thread about Kosovo independence......

So with Putin signing Crimea into Russia, which country will be next for Putin to target. He says Crimea was and is rightly a part of Russia, but the point is this is not how a democracy (which they inform us they are :rolleyes: ) should or would go about this. Its not legal.

Now he states retaliation to any sanctions. Europe's power source is under threat then perhaps? So who would have thought it. Trusting Russia for fuel is a bad idea. :eek:

Fair enough but it still doesn't make what Russia have done right.
