stevemagegod Posted March 20, 2014 #1 Share Posted March 20, 2014 (edited) Just heard on the 10 o clock news that Russia is "considering" to Annex the territory that it all ready captured. If this happens all hell well break lose. Ukraine all ready has frigging Tanks lined up ready to fire.I don't know about you guys but i am some what scared. We all know that Obama won't do ****. He'll just impose "Sanctions". Which we all know don't work. The Speaker of the House(?) said this is the most dangerous situation since the end of the Cold War. Yatsenyuk warned that the crisis was shifting "from political to the military form, and the blame is on the Russian military." http://www.cnn.com/2...ukraine-crisis/ Edited March 20, 2014 by stevemagegod Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Speaker of the House(?) said this is the most dangerous situation since the end of the Cold War. http://www.cnn.com/2...ukraine-crisis/ I think the guy who made that statement was Anders Fogh Rasmussen the head of NATO. I have been concerned of this spiraling out of control for some time now. Obama is the wild card. If he remains predictably docile and allows Putin to just take what he wants then the fighting won't spread. But if he allows events to carry him along and he begins to imagine that he actually has a set then real problems could occur because Putin is NOT going to back down IMO. Probably all that's going to happen is NATO and the US are going to slink away and let Putin win this one. The problem may arise in a few months when he decides to repeat the process with Lithuania or Belarus(?) One thing is sure - an aggressor does not stop until they fear a stronger power. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nighthawk9653 Posted March 20, 2014 #8 Share Posted March 20, 2014 So, maybe I'm wrong, but didn't Crimea win a vote to annex to Russia? What already captured territory is Russia considering to annex? And, just personally, I had the impression that Obama was sticking his nose somewhere it didn't belong. Like the US getting involved in things it shouldn't. I don't know, not too up-to-date with the latest happenings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know, not too up-to-date with the latest happenings. AFAIK Russians have not invaded or annexed any more of Ukraine -yet. But Putin has made it clear that he'll use the same pretense of "protecting" ethnic Russian populations anywhere they are. If they do start grabbing more land then shooting could begin in earnest. The Ukraine military isn't up to NATO standards but then neither is Russia. It might be more expensive than Putin imagines -especially if an insurgency begins. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Brian Topp Posted March 20, 2014 Popular Post #10 Share Posted March 20, 2014 (edited) Over the 32 years on this earth, I have dealt with people telling me that the world will end, That the ozone will cause the ice caps to flood the world, That we would run out of food by the year 2000, We would have a world wide system crash that would set us back 300 years, A nuclear war would happen, alien invasion, Zombie invasion, Obama care invasion ETC. What I learned from all of this, People like to look forward to dying or destruction and they need refocus this life and do hobbies, like gardening, swimming or taxidermy.

qxcontinuum Posted March 20, 2014 #11 Share Posted March 20, 2014 (edited) And don't forget Crimea was a Russian territory claimed by Ukraine after separation from URSS. While under Ukrainean administration was poorly managed . Not trying to ad any excuses to Russia which i personally dislike as country, excepting Russian girls.... Mmmm And yes there will be a war , it is inevitable. In the entire human history never has been more than 40-50 years before major conflicts between countries. That is how we are!

Guest Posted March 20, 2014 #13 Share Posted March 20, 2014 (edited) No way will anyone but Ukraine go to war over the Crimea, and I doubt that the Ukraine would be that foolish. The Crimea is part of Russia (it always was) and that a fact - its time to get used to it. If the western powers start to back the Ukraine militarily it will look very bad for them since they will be backing a NeoFascist regime to oppose a democratic decision. However - if they move against the Ukraine itself I would predict war is a certainty. Br Cornelius Edited March 20, 2014 by Guest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yamato Posted March 20, 2014 #14 Share Posted March 20, 2014 If Crimea is a part of Russia it would have had to separate from the Ukraine first. I think a reasonable compromise to this situation would have been to ask the Russians to leave in order for Crimea to have their referendum in 12 months time, the major difference being they wouldn't do it in the presence of Russian military forces. It's all too late now. Crimea has been officially annexed to Russia. So now what? Are Luhanska and Donetska next? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 20, 2014 #15 Share Posted March 20, 2014 I doubt Russia will go that far since they have almost nothing to gain. Remember here that the Ukrainian government were already attempting to introduce legislation which would discriminate against Russian speakers. They quietly dropped that under pressure from the EU - but it shows the Nationalist intent of the new boys in power. The Crimea was part of Russia until about the 1970's, it was a political gift from a time when the Soviet Union Imagined itself invulnerable. If Nikita Khrushchev had have know the fate of the USSR you can bet your bottom dollar he would not have made such a gesture. Reagans intervention in Panama is the nearest we can come to understanding the mind set of Russians on this one. Br Cornelius Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Subsonicjourno Posted March 20, 2014 #17 Share Posted March 20, 2014 There won't be a global war, maybe a few skirmishes between Ukraine and Russian forces.

Myles Posted March 20, 2014 #19 Share Posted March 20, 2014 I don't see much advantage to the USA getting involved at a military level. Russia doesn't like us and we have been poking the bull for some time now. While I don't agree with how they treat homosexuality, I thought it was a crappy thing for the USA to purposely send gay former athletes to Russia to represent the country. Nothing to gain by doing that. High risk/low reward. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As long as we keep buying Chinese junk and Americans have companies in China they, I think, will stay out of it.Why would Edward Snowden be a factor, the US government didn't disclose this information? The only thing he proved is everyone is spying on everyone. I heard the UK and the US are going to conduct military exercises in the Ukraine.

Jeremiah65 Posted March 20, 2014 #25 Share Posted March 20, 2014 I don't see this escalating. Now here is a crazy theory for you. Back in the earlier parts of the 20th century...leading to WW1 and WW2....the world was a little more isolated and detached. Today...the globalists have financial interests everywhere...and like it or not...they are deep in the pockets of your elected representatives. So what does that mean? That means if there is ANY chance that there will be personal financial repercussions to these globalists for conflict breaking out on a large scale...it will not happen. Sure, there might be some localized skirmishes. You might see some police actions...some firepower turned loose on a small scale. But you will never see another world war...I honestly believe that. Too much money gets lost that way. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
