The Russians are worried about threats to Russians in the
Ukraine. So, they are thinking about intervening. Kinda makes
you wonder, if they are Russians, why don't they just leave the
Ukraine and go back home if they are afraid?

Or, could it be they are Ukrainians who want to go back to the
Soviet system, by uniting with Russia? In which case they are
not Russians and Putin doesn't even have that minimum of an
excuse.

OTOH, saw a picture online of three Ukrainian gunmen riding a
military combat vehicle driven by a fourth man wearing a helmet.
For gunmen they seemed to be awfully young, clean, uniformed,
and perfectly willing to show their faces.

Kinda makes you think maybe they are Russian soldiers paying the
Ukraine a visit, and got in the line of a photographer's camera.

A right wing commentator said Obama should do something to deter
Putin. She said, we're not suggesting he send in the 101st
Airborne... hmmm... Just what else is there? Saying we should do
something means send in the 101st Airborne, or the Marines, of
do nothing. Does anyone really believe anything short of
military intervention will stop Putin?

Does anyone want to risk a world war on that? Even a
conventional war?
