The Crisis in the Ukraine - Great Russia Threat

BBC News: Reports the following from the crisis hit Ukraine, " Ukraine's President Viktor Yanukovych has offered the position of prime minister to an opposition leader, Arseniy Yatsenyuk. "

Lets Get Real:

This blog suggested in a recent post that Russia could take action in Eastern Ukraine, one gets the feeling with the Winter Olympics coming up that could be to much of a risk for President Putin, he does not want to force the hand of President Obama, at the moment the Obama Oval needs Russia to keep Syria in line, well not the use of WMD right in front of the world press, if Putin went in to the Eastern part of the Ukraine the Oval could face calls to boycott the Winter Olympics, the Olympics does not need to repeat the history of the Cold War, when the USSR and US boycotted games on each others soil.   Thus those wanting closer ties with the European Union just might have caught a break, Moscow cant or wont take action in the Ukraine before or during the games, thus the opposition can place more pressure on the Russian leaning  Administration.   Interesting times in the Ukraine.
