UK should revoke Abramovich's visa and nationalize Chelsea.

Fire Mourinho too, he's probably a Russian spy.

No way Putin will invade.  He'll just continue doing sneaky KGB stuff to Ukraine.

*cough* ;)

I wasn't thinking much about Crimea, but yeah I was wrong.  Crazy series of events.

QuoteKIRILLOVSKY TEST RANGE (Leningrad region), March 03. /ITAR-TASS/. President Putin accompanied by Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu, troops commander of the Western Military District Anatoly Sidorov and Chief of the head department of combat training of the Russian armed forces Ivan Buvaltsov on Monday have monitored a military exercise held on the Kirillovsky test range in the Leningrad region in the framework of a surprise inspection of combat readiness of troops and ammunition of the Western and Central military districts.

The surprise inspection of troops of the Western and Central military districts, which began on February 26, ends late on March 3. Around 150,000 servicemen, 90 planes, 120 helicopters, 880 tanks, 80 ships all in all took part in the exercise.

More than 1,800 servicemen, 30 tanks, around 20 airborne combat vehicles, five planes and 80 helicopters were involved in the exercise held on the Kirillovsky test range on five scenarios: drills in combat operations and liquidation of a presumed adversary, landing operations by paratroopers on guided parachutes and landing of tactical airborne troops for isolation of a zone of military operations, neutralization of an artillery unit or a logistics supply battalion.

Glad to see the Brits are as good on keeping secrets from the Russians as ever.

Besides the impossibility of the US and Russia ever engaging in direct conventional warfare, I'd say that operations near the Russian border is the kind of thing the A-10 would really suck at.

This is sickening.  It's like man being murdered in public while everyone politely looks the other way.

It's looking like I was wrong too, when I said this is just a power play and Russian forces will withdraw.

It still boggles my mind "why" though.  Putin *just* finished the Sochi games, trying to open Russia to the world.  The games actually came off very well.  BUt now all that good will is gone, and likely more.  Even if Russia is only kicked out of the G8, that's got to be a blow.

And all over what - the Crimean Penninsula?  This has surely meant Russia has lost most of it's influence over the rest of Ukraine.

I on the other hand, was correct. :D
