Funny I was reading an analysis by an ex Russian defense minister saying that if the Russian military intervened, they would get their asses kicked... And they could end up using tactical nukes to counterbalance... He's basically saying that the generals will probably tell Putin to not do it... but politicians don't always listen to generals (see : Afghanistan 1979)...

And if eastern Ukraine secede/is taken over by Russia even peacefully, western Ukraine is screwed economically.


One thing is sure, Crimean Ukrainians don't want to be linked to the EU...

The Ruskies already have 25 000 troops in Sevastopol... and if that witch Tymoshenko takes power, she's insane enough to try to kick the Ruskies out of there... which will lead to war. And she will likely push for NATO and EU membership.

Then you got this : IFVs and troops around Novorossysk... (bordering on the Crimea) might be normal, might be the start of a buildup...
