Satellites capture images of 1000 Russian troops inside Ukraine.

Still nothing of significance from the U.S. or NATO.

abc news this morning calling it an "all out invasion" by russia.

 

this is the epitome of an unnecessary war.

[InsideThePark]

I see more sanctions in their future.

WTF Putin?

 

Russian President Vladimir Putin has compared Ukrainian military tactics to those used by German Nazi forces during the Second World War invasion of the Soviet Union.

 

Russians invade the sovereign nation of the Ukraine and then call the Ukranians Nazis? Maybe all the history book rewriting in Russia has had an effect on the thinking over there as to who the enemies of freedom were in WWII.

Don't mess with nuclear Russia, Putin says.

The scary is, his approval rating in Russia has jumped to 71%.

 

He wants a large slice of Eastern Ukraine. He calls it "New Russia". The man is unhinged.

Looks like he's eyeing Kazakhstan now.

President Vladimir Putin has said Kazakhstan's history of independent statehood is scant and its people's desire for closer ties with Russia is profound — a rhetoric reminiscent of Moscow's stance on Ukraine — and inhabitants of Kazakhstan are worried.

wow. next you thing you know we'll be hearing that there are germans in the sudetenland that really want to be part of germany again.

[Blarg]

Putin needs to be put down. He is pulling pages from Hitler' fatherland propaganda where all the neighboring countries were really part of Germany.

Obama will get to it, as soon as he figures out a strategy to deal with ISIS. One crisis at a time.

Obama will get to it, as soon as he figures out a strategy to deal with ISIS for putting on that tricky 14th green at Congressional Country Club. One crisis at a time.

 

fixed.

Very sad. Russia needs to STFU and focus on creating more fake Facebook pages.

Hopefully we can get out all the diplomats and military before the invasion.  We can worry about any US citizens in Ukraine after the invasion starts.

Maybe it will just be a minor incursion. No harm no foul.

He wants the restoration of "Greater Russia", the old Empire. He's a madman at heart. At least he's not a communist anymore.

In all honesty I didnt think this was really going to happen, but its looking like it is.

 

How far we get involved, I dont know. But I have a feeling Ukraine's neighbors are almost itching for it to happen.... Russia isnt very popular in the region....

No idea why Putin wants to do this so badly...

I can't see anybody really doing anything of impact to stop it.

Gives him more naval access, plus he just wants to bring the Great Mother Russia back.

He's probably been playing the Russian campaign of Age of Empires IV.
