Guardian: Reports the following from NATO, " Satellite images reveal Russian military buildup on Ukraine's border...Nato images show fighter planes, helicopters and troops which officials say could be ready to move in 12 hours ".
Lets Get Real:
Thus it can be argued that Russia is READY, the question is why the delay, are they looking for a diplomatic victory, hoping the military threat will get them what they want, a Ukraine under their influence, if they do not get that they could take over the entire Ukraine, thus forcing the West to place heavy economic sanctions on Moscow. The Kremlin could threaten gas supplies to the Western Europe, but then they would lose in the long term, as the Russian economy is to linked to the West to take long term harsh sanctions, the question does Putin care, one can say NOT, his rich friends will care, thus who is better at chess, Russia or the West.
