Meanwhile in La-La-Land:

What exactly is it that you want NATO to do, as this is not necessarily a NATO issue?

Bomb the fuck out of them.

Did I say that I want NATO to do anything? La-La-Land referred to the alternate reality that is Russian state media.

Thanks to all this Slavic bullshit, I had to change all my bank passwords.

I ain't waiting for the banks to tell me to change them.

The way I see it, Russians can pull this de-facto but undeclared war bullshit indefinitely, and they know it.  It can only become an official war if Ukraine declares war, because Russians won't, and what in the world would Ukraine win by doing that?

Yep.  The only hope is that it becomes such a drain for the Russians that it becomes too costly to continue.

They're somewhat gimped, though, because this way they won't be able to use air assets without being too obvious.

Sure they could. Just say that the seperatists bought those assets at the local hardware store.

[Tamas]

Or that it was the Ukrainian airforce. They are already doing it with the Malaysian flight.

NATO is establishing bases in Eastern Europe in response.

Good. I expect they will leave Hungary out though, as the government is in the pockets of Putin.

the NATO commander guy has cancelled his press event for today, maybe indication that some shit is really going down and NATO members are discussing what to do?

Probably due to the NATO emergency meeting tomorrow.
According to BBC, there will also be a meeting of the UN security council today.

Looks like Russia is on the verge of calling the whole charade off.  Damn.

Speaking of charades...
