US sees Russian THREAT to Ukraine - Ukraine Crisis Latest

CNN - Politics: Reports the following from Washington D.C, " Based on intelligence, Obama administration officials are very concerned the Russians are not being truthful when they say their forces near Ukraine's eastern and southern borders are merely there for training exercises, .. ".

Lets Get Real:

Lets hope in this case this is an over reaction from the Intelligence community after the failure to see that Putin would go in to the Crimea, if Russia does go in to the East and South then we are talking a new ball game, the EU and US would have to near economic breaking sanctions on Russia, and also support the Kiev Government, an invasion would show that THE Russia word could not be trusted, it would be back to the Cold War.  One would think that the Kremlin would take the WIN in the Crimea and back off, in less it sees that the US and EU as weak and goes for gold, entire Ukraine.   Lets hope the CIA, NSA and MI6 have their eyes and ears open over the next few days. 

After Crimea WHAT NEXT ? - Ukraine Crisis Latest

BBC News: Reports the latest from the Crimea Crisis, " President Vladimir Putin has signed a law formalising Russia's takeover of Crimea from Ukraine, despite fresh sanctions from the EU and the US. "

Lets Get Real:

One can postulate, and this is just a guess that the Crimea crisis is at an end, Putin has got the Ukraine with a slap of the hand from the EU and the US, if Putin is clever he will take this win and use covert means to cause problems in the East of Ukraine.   Putin must know that he does not want to get to close to NATO, if a War breakout between the Ukraine and Russia it would drag in the US, Obama would be forced to re- supply the Kiev Government with arms, one does not want the Super Powers that close and in a hot war.   Thus what next, NOTHING is a option, an ice cold relationship between Putin's Russia and the West, the Ukraine become a member of the EU and NATO in time, faster than expected because the West does not want Russia to see that it has a free hand in the Ukraine, so in the long term it can be argued that the takeover of the Crimea was a strategic mistake by Putin, he just might have lost the Ukraine to the West for the future.
