Jaysafer: Well shit is getting serious in Ukraine. Russia is slowly taking over the province of Crimea, a state with a population that's 57% Russian. They've set up road blocks, armoured personnel carrier vehicles are on patrol, troops have taken over the Crimean parliament building, 2 airports (1 Ukrainian military airbase, 1 public airport) and a Ukrainian coast guard base.
The new Ukrainian government (the last one killed 77 protesters) calls Russia's movements an invasion and military occupation. Russia has another 150,000 troops, 800 tanks, 200 attack helicopters near the border practising "war games"
domfree: crimea called on russia to come and to protect the citizens, what the russians are doing is putting military on high alert just like they did in 2008 in response to provocative attacks from georgia

Is Ukraine worth fighting to protect from Russia?
