Just on BBC.
Dimitry Medvedev, Russian Prime Minister has just said that they do not recognise the legitimacy of the new 'government' in Kiev!
Doesn't look good.

RUSSIAN DUMA INTRODUCES DRAFT LAW TO GIVE ETHNIC RUSSIANS IN UKRAINE IMMEDIATE RUSSIAN CITIZENSHIP, INTERFAX SAYS
 Quoting: Ontheverge


I have to give the Russians credit for setting this all up quite perfectly. Really, they are doing such a thorough job.

1. Own the Ukrainian leadership by lavishing them with money and gifts.
2. Create a situation in which the Ukraine is economically dependent on Russia.
3. Do everything in their power to goad the US and EU into supporting the Ukrainian revolutionaries.
4. Watch as the uprising happens and the official opposition lose control. The trap is sprung.
5. Give ethnic Russians in the Ukraine Russian citizenship.
6. Roll into Ukraine as 'protectors' of new Russian citizens and 'protectors' of the Ukrainian constitution.
7. Roll on the floor laughing as the US and EU panic.
8. Laugh as Ukrainian nationalists fire on Russian troops.
9. Draw the western powers into a shooting war that they can't win.
10. Re-take the Baltic states, Georgia, Poland, Hungary, Romania etc. Destroy NATO.
11. Watch, rubbing hands in glee, as China moves to take what it wants in Asia.
12. Carve out the European empire Russia always wanted.
13. Plunder Europe to save Russia's economy.
14. Create a new world order.
15. Get pissed on Vodka and laugh about how easy it was.

Russia sees merit in the advice against use of force in Ukraine which US National Security Adviser Susan Rice voiced, but believes it was wrongly directed towards Moscow. Washington would be a more appropriate recipient of the piece of wisdom.

What is happening on the streets of Kiev right now is really a proxy war between the East and the West. On the one side you have the USSA and the EUSSR, which are quite determined to bring Ukraine under their sphere of influence.

Re: UKRAINE/RUSSIA NEWS: Russian military drills begin near Ukraine day after militants announce 100k strong mobalisation!!!p.7387
I really think the nuclear spectre is something of a distraction here. Russians aren't stupid, neither are the Chinese. The real danger here is a conventional war. Conventional wars are much easier to start... and much harder to stop. In a conventional war it is possible for combatants to see an advantage to winning. This gives a real incentive to actually go to war. Nuclear war removes the incentive to go to war. I think that the western public is so anti-nuclear that the option is pretty much ruled out. Even during the height of the Cold War it was joked that the French, for example, wouldn't have authorised the nuclear option until the Russians were at the Seine, and the British wouldn't have until the Russians were at the white cliffs of Dover. The American public barely made the Vietnam draft viable... can you imagine it now?

Nuclear responses and drafts are off the table for NATO and the US. Russia knows this. Russia also knows that the west's stock of ultra-high tech weapons would be exhausted after the first few weeks of high-intensity war. Even in limited engagements like Libya NATO ran short of smart weapons.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 53990064


Only things that would run out in a short time would be cruise missiles and gasoline. They could establish supply lines for the gas and wouldn't have problems when cruise runs out, when they have UAVs and insurgents trained to fight on the ground spearheading the offensive.

Lets be honest, they don't have the experience of projecting force to another continent, how to support it, feed it, and ensure it has the capabilities to operate in that theatre with the correct tactics.

That is a very steep learning curve, now give China 10-20 years of projecting themselves outside of China, getting mixed up in peacekeeping missions, and time to build up their heavy lift experience etc and I am sure they'll be more than a match for anyone, but right now, they have a steep learning curve in front of them and if they do try, it will cost them dearly.

That I think is why you might find they will take a pragmatic stance on this..

They'll be moving in for protection reasons, seems more likely now.

Sounds familiar......

"Putin has warned that the Georgian attack will draw retaliation and the Defense Ministry pledged to protect South Ossetians, most of whom have Russian citizenship."


Chairing a session of his Security Council in the Kremlin, Russian President Dmitry Medvedev also vowed that Moscow will protect Russian citizens.

"In accordance with the constitution and federal law, I, as president of Russia, am obliged to protect lives and dignity of Russian citizens wherever they are located," Medvedev said, according to Russian news reports. "We won't allow the death of our compatriots go unpunished."
