Thread: Are The Ukraine really just going to allow Russia to take a fairly sizeable chunk of their country?

  1. #1

    Are The Ukraine really just going to allow Russia to take a fairly sizeable chunk of their country?

    Ridicules pushovers imo. The France of the east.

    Stand up for yourselves!

    Are you fishing or you simply being stupid? How could you possibly think Ukraine can stand up to

    Russia?

    I am fishing a bit. But they could at least make a protest. I can't believe that nothing is being

    done.

    Russia can't be allowed to keep Crimea.

    They have as much chance as Cyprus did when they were invaded by Turkey

    Three reasons why Putin is confident

    1. He doesn't care about sanctions and knows that he can hurt the EU more than they can hurt him. This explains the high on rhetoric, low on action response so far.
    2. The US is not going to launch a land war with Russia over Ukraine. It just isn't, despite hawkish catcalls from Congress.
    3. After putting up spurious reasons for invading other countries in the past, the west has no moral legitimacy to complain.

    The ridicules thing is how everybody is letting Russia do it

    It's almost as if the rest of the world have too much invested in Russia to kick up a fuss and potentially ruin a very lucrative relationship.

    In mitigation though, those people are very, very Russian.

    Transdinistra is next.

    Moldova who?

    Like Russia, Turkey was also complaining about a ruthless neo-fascist regime in Greece?

    Which wasn't exactly inaccurate! Not condoning mind, just noting the rhetorical similarities.

    Crimea has nearly 60% Russian population and only passed to Ukraine as a gift from Khruschev in the

    1950's. Ukraine wanted to hand it back in 1991 buy Yeltsin, who was drunk at the time, said he didn't want it.

    Is that right? so they kill 6,000 people in a small country and take half of it? Jesus wept!

    Although thousands of Cypriots died and are still missing with displaced property still in the hands of the invaders - I feel sorry for them - but it could have been much worse, still, a superpower flexing its muscles, are they still fighting in Chechnya ?
