BBC News: Reports the following, " Russia will respond if its interests in Ukraine are attacked, Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov has said, drawing a parallel with the 2008 Georgian war. "
Lets Get Real:
The Kremlin might be following a policy of boring people to death with this subject, either Russia gets off his backside and follows through with its constant threat or backs off, the Russian troops on the border between the Ukraine and Russia must be bored rigid with the on going alert, it is as if Putin is not quite sure of the reaction, he was sure that the West would not react with the Crimea, the Ukraine would be another matter, the World order after the fall of the USSR would become in to question, also this would bring Russia very close to Poland, an age old enemy, who happens to be part of NATO. Even a limited strike on East Ukraine could backfire, the West of Ukraine would come under the protection of the West, thus moving the West closer to Russia, something Putin does not want, lets hope the master chess player has not out played himself in this case.
