Telegraph: Reports the following from the Crimea, " landslide victory for Russia in Crimea vote
Rising tensions in Ukraine as Russia claims victory in Crimea referendum ".
Lets Get Real:
Thus what next for President Putin, the West will impose sanctions, what does Putin do, scale back the gas that Russia sends to Europe, withdraw from some of the nuclear treaties it has signed under the old USSR and modern Russia. The game is afoot, and Putin has the cards at the moment, if he is smart he will take the Crimea and back off, he can keep the Kiev Government and the West off balance with trying to think what HIS next move will be without doing much, on the other hand he just might take over the whole of the Ukraine, showing up the West as weak and getting good press in Russia and some good write ups in Russian history books in Russia. Interesting days ahead.
