Ukraine's European Revolution?

[Valmy]

An armed surveillance drone eh?  Reconnaissance in force.

No, I just wanted to know if you were serious or not.  I'm actually displeased with the President on this.  This might surprise you but I want a much firmer response, and I think the Syrian fuck up was like a green light to Putin.  Unless Obama can figure out a way to get the Russians out of Ukraine in the next few hours this will be a massive foreign policy failure.

Okay, now I get to ask questions.  What would you have done in Obama/Kerry's place?

I'd try to get basing rights in Ukraine and send troops to block off any further advance of Russian forces.  I'd tie the withdrawal of American soldiers from Ukraine with the withdrawal of Russian troops from Crimea.

Tripwire troops, then?

So basically you'd be saying - Russia, no further or we have a war.

"Вот так надо жить России с Украиной"
"This is how Russia should live with Ukraine!"

They should have a lesbian affair? 

Works for me! 

I similarly endorse this.  Passionately.

Unfortunately, that picture (in particular with Ukraine being the submissive one) accurately reflects the last 300 years of Ukrainian history.

Ukraine, as a girl, though is growing up.  Wants to date other people, sleep around a bit.  In particular she wants to check out the German chick, see what kinks she might be into.  But Russia is far too jealous to allow that.

Russia is clearly the bottom in that picture.  Look at the body language.

Bottom?  How does that work?

Anyway Russia looks like the maternal one there, well except for the sort of creepy finger entwining.

Yep.  It's what we did in Germany.

I am - Russia has her arm around Ukraine's head, bringing her in to Russia's shoulder.

I thought the wreath was a Russian thing.

It's more typically a Ukrainian thing.

Um, did you miss the fact that the two girls are dressed in the colours of their respective flags?

[Admiral Yi]

@Malthus: I was fooled by the Slavfros at Sochi.

But in that case Russia is clearly going to buttfuck Ukraine.

Beeb: I can't keep those ridiculous three color flags apart.

[DGuller]

Ukraine's flag has two colors.

You feeling okay today, Yi?

You'd make an excellent ambassador.
