One of the interesting and unpredictable things here is what will Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Slovakia, Hungary, Romania and Turkey do? They are all members of NATO and will all be watching this very closely, and will all be alarmed with each new move Russia makes and each salvo of hot air with no actions coming from the mouths of western leaders. If any of these nations decide to take action then NATO will be sucked in.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 53990064


Only Poland and Turkey are militarily strong to do something outside their borders. But not even they would go against Russia. Slovakia, Hungary and Romania could do something only at home - defend as best they could. Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania are sitting ducks and completely dependent on others.
 Quoting: Polemarchos



Turkey has to keep a stern eye on Russia.. How far they are willing to go with a nuclear armed russia remains to be seen. unless a second NuClear armed power is there Russia Will win, Its the only way to try and garantee nuclear weapons are not sued. You think russia will not hesitate to use them ?? They never dismantdled any!!

I don't get it... you people bitch all day about how weak and prone to vaginal drafts Obozo is yet some of you think that going to war against Russia is gonna make everything he has done for the past six years all-right. smh

If you go to war only the good people of America get to die and for what ? .. so that the puppet can keep on playing golf with his IMF homies

The only war you should fight is for freedom not for the interests of the few in power. ( obviously this goes for every country)


rant
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 54726318


I don't want war at all.. was just noting the amazing difference in leadership abilities.

Bammy is a weakling, it's just that simple.
Peace is a lie, there is only passion.
Through passion, I gain strength.
Through strength, I gain power.
Through power, I gain victory.
Through victory, my chains are broken.
The Force shall free me.

There are MAJOR Russian military buildups on Estonian - Russian border right now.

If the UK and US don't honour the Budapest Agreement of 1994 then what is the point in agreements and alliances? If the UK and US do not act to defend Ukrainian territorial integrity (and that means ALL of the Ukraine, including Crimea, which has been part of the Ukraine since the 50s, let alone since Ukrainian independence) then it will also undermine NATO. Russia will have a green light to move on the Baltic states. They are members of NATO, but hey, if the promises of the UK and US, the two main NATO powers, are good for nothing then what has Russia got to fear.

I think Russia is playing a much bigger game here than most think. I also don't believe that the Ukranian military is as weak as being portrayed. Sure some units will sympathise with the Russians and refuse to fight or defect, but many Ukranian units are now itching to fight. Ukranians are a proud people, and over the last decade especially have been very active training and integrating with NATO forces. Heck, the Ukraine even deployed troops to both Iraq and Afghanistan! Most members of the Ukranian armed forces are going to be too young to remember the Soviet days and, due to their age group, many are likely to be very European and western in outlook. If the majority of the Ukrainian armed forces had been politically pro-Russia I think they would not have stood by and let the pro-European movement bring down the pro-Russian government in the first place. The fact that they refused to get involved and that the deposed president even fired the chief-of-staff at the last minute (probably because he refused to side with him) tells me that the Ukranian armed forces are not as pro-Russian as the MSM is making out.

Rather I think that the Ukranian armed forces are being very sensible and waiting to see if the UK and US step up to honour their agreements to back them up. If they know they have major powers backing them up then they will make a move back into Crimea. If they are left on their own then they will just sit tight and try to maintain the rest of the Ukraine and avoid engaging the Russians. This is very similar to what happened in Czechoslovakia in the late 30s. The Czechs were well armed and ready to fight the Germans, but they knew they could only stand a chance if Britain and France backed them up.

Only if they are attacked. They can't just suddenly jump in and drag the whole of NATO into a conflict of their own choosing.

NATO won't accept countries where there are frozen conflicts either, so that rules out places like Georgia... and Ukraine if Russia decide to leave one in the freezer, so to speak.

I'm from Estonia, just North from Lithuania and Latvia. We're called the Baltic states. Our relations with Russia are probably the worst in the EU.
"The master understands that the universe is always out of control".
-Lao Tzu


The 5th Dimension principal of harmony reveals that supporting others creates strength. The lower dimension mind believes that acquiring or taking from others makes you stronger. Yet, as you can imagine, if all people desire to "take" from others, the fabric of the reality tears itself apart.
If you want to start prospering and growing stronger,start focusing on supporting others.

If you want to start prospering and growing stronger, focus on supporting others where you can. Give to others that cross YOUR PATH and you soon discover you will be given more. The 5th Dimension principal of harmony means that you will always have an abundance to do a good work.
