Now the Long Knives are poised right in the back of Ukraine:

Fucking brilliant approach, this. First the attempt to play divide and conquer in Ukraine pretty transparently crashed and burned with the retun of Ukraine's Benazir Bhutto to political influence. Then, the Russians decide evidently that they really did move in Russian Army soldiers into the Crimea. Because the proper instinct when a risky gamble fails is to raise the stakes. This is not going to end well by any means. Now I'm wondering how long Lucashenko will have a country to rule as dictator, and what might happen with Round II with Georgia. If Tsar Vladimir I of the House of Putin succeeds in this kind of thing, that will only encourage him to expand his wars of aggression further because Ukraine is rather larger than Georgia, and this would permit Russia to begin aspiring to regain aspects of the old Tsarist boundaries. I sincerely expected Russia would use Central Asia for this kind of thing, not Ukraine.

The EU wouldn't give a damn about invading Muslims in Kazakhstan, but invading an EU state? That's not going to lead Russia to do anything but decide to engage in still-larger wars of aggression in the long term.

And one of the chambers of the Russian legislature just approved this request. Hoo, boy.

Shit got real-er:

The Ukrainian Army is now on full combat alert. The prospect that the centennial year of the First World War will see the first large-scale conventional European war in decades has risen exponentially.

Oh look, Factcheck.org also debunked Palin as well.

So there's someone in denial on this thread, but it's not me.

You can keep patting yourself on the back and preening for the court, it doesn't change the fact that the Emperor is naked.

That's a laugh coming from you.

You never did answer the question.

OK let me make this maximum clear, because I'm going to say this just this one time. Your next ad hominem case like this, no matter how minor, minuscule, infinitesimal, is going to result in official measures.

You had already been warned (http://talk-politics.livejournal.com/1823207.html?thread=144740839#t144740839) on the matter.
No more warnings. There can be no further excuse.
