In think its funny that Russia thinks it still owns those states.

I don't get the people, particularly the protesters in Kiev. A few months ago, they were protesting and willing to die for their country over the President's decision to go with Russia instead of the West. Now when Crimea gets taken over and more cities are under threat from Russia, they all just sit back and watch? Where is the patriotism they had before?
They are willing to fight and destroy their own city and won't do shit when their entire country's under threat? WTF?
It's probably easier to fight the police than your own people in a civil war. It's a tad more serious a war with Russia than a 'war' with the police. Also in a war with Russia you don't just risk your own life but plenty of others' as well.
so why did they have to get rid of the national currencies to use a european union currency
LOL Yep. In this case they are definitely out to get you, they just can't do so at an acceptable cost at the moment.Better to be prepared. Just because you're paranoid doesn't mean they aren't out to get you. On a more serious note, Russia has shown it cannot be trusted. We have already increased military spending for next year as a result. Trade will suffer for sure. Russia is driving itself into isolation.
Ahem . . .You are conflating separate questions.
Crimean Tatar deportation is ancient history.
The fantasy is thinking that Russia will just allow NATO in Ukraine.
Instant ancient history?This guy was already deported in 1944.
Ukrainian citizen and leader of the Crimean Tatars, Mustafa Dzhemilev, has been handed a document on the Ukrainian border informing him he is banned by federal law from entering Russian territory for five years.

there were violent clashes between the factions in quite a few eastern cities today, Donetsk had it worst I believe.
...cos I can't find shit on Youtube.
You should try the German Youtube portal ()
Kerry: U.S. Taped Moscow’s Calls to Its Ukraine Spies
Sounds like provocation for escalation to me...
Russia is a warmongering fascist piece of shit. What ever the US does or has done doesn't change this.
When Ukraine moved troops to Eastern Ukraine to take back those captured buildings and to smash down the roadblocks Russia moved their troops to less than 1km of the border and violated Ukrainian airspace threathening Ukraine with war. This is clearly an act to create unrest in Ukraine. It's obvious there are Russian saboteurs in Ukraine. This time it's just done differently to Crimea.
These "volunteers" are Russian. They admit it themselves on this video:

Here the same group attacks a police station in Kramatorsk which happened a couple of weeks ago:

Something hilarious happens after 3:30. It's a freaking circus there.
Love the guy who starts yelling at 2:05. :awe:
Did you actually watch that 2nd video?
The guy that was kidnapped basically explained that the bearded guy is not a Russian operative.
That should really be common sense. Unless Russia is training its special forces to blend in by being 55+ having a messy beard ( his would take many months to grow) and being 90lbs overweight, he is not special forces. Maybe he was 20 years ago, but he isn't now.
