Who exactly is the audience for that statement?  They are repeating crazy propaganda that not even their own people believe.
You'd be amazed at how impressionable some of their own people are, if Internet comments on Russian forums are anything to go by.  Sure, it's almost a certainty that some of the pro-Putin commenters are paid FSB shills/trolls, but they can't all be that.  Besides, once people go into fervor, they abandon even the most basic of bullshit detection.

Shouldn't you be making phone calls right now Comrade?

Time for exfiltration?

QuoteReuters:

Russia's Black Sea Fleet has told Ukrainian forces in Crimea to surrender by 5 a.m. (0300 GMT) on Tuesday or face a military assault, Interfax news agency quoted a source in the Ukrainian Defence Ministry as saying.

The ultimatum, Interfax said, was issued by Alexander Vitko, the fleet's commander.

The ministry did not immediately confirm the report and there was no immediate comment by the Black Sea Fleet, which has a base in Crimea, where Russian forces are in control.

"If they do not surrender before 5 a.m. tomorrow, a real assault will be started against units and divisions of the armed forces across Crimea," the agency quoted the ministry source as saying.

Gotta be a bluff.  A bad bluff.

A terrorist which starts a slaughter quoting Locke, Burke and Mill has completely missed the point.
The fact remains that the only person or group to applaud the Norway massacre are random Islamists.

I'm not so sure.  It could be that Russians decided on full-scale invasion, realized that they can't wait for valid pretexts to materialize, and decided to just go with naked aggression.
