If you don't pull your troops out we won't send minions to a low level G8 talk.
That will scare Putin!

Weak stuff.
Putin move was probably the boldest military action since the Afghanistan invasion for Russia. They are simply not gonna turn around now

The un and European union better send in peacekeepers now because those Russian trooper will eat up any type of protestors. It's gonna get ugly

Interesting and well written article on this. http://www.forbes.com/sites/gregsatell/2014/03/01/5-things-you-should-know-about-putins-incursion-into-crimea/
Comments about Putin at the end are thought provoking.

The original issue started when the Ukrainian President refused a deal to join the EU in order to stay loyal to Russia. As you can see from previously posted maps, there's a pretty big divide in the country where allegiances lie.

For those of us who haven't been following could someone explain the situation in a few sentences?
Why haven't you?
I've been meaning to start this thread a bit ago when the protesting started to turn for the worst, but I had my doubts anybody would care. I am now vindicated with the above....lol

Kerry condemns Russia's 'incredible act of aggression' in Ukraine | Reuters (http://www.reuters.com/article/2014/03/02/us-ukraine-crisis-usa-kerry-idUSBREA210DG20140302)
"You just don't in the 21st century behave in 19th century fashion by invading another country on completely trumped up pre-text," Kerry told the CBS program "Face the Nation."

How could that douche bag even say that with a straight face?

Does anyone feel like the US has handled this well?

No. I think Chico summed it up pretty well.

I wish the Ukrainians well. I hope significant, practical economic sanctions are imposed and that Putin chokes on this move.
Not one American soldier should need to shed blood for this. If the Europeans want peace and security in their backyard, let them send their sons to secure it.

What if NATO sends peacekeepers? Are you saying the US should not support NATO or keep its obligations under both NATO and other international agreements?
