Sky News: Reports " NATO sends extra ships and jets, as UK pulls some embassy staff out of Ukraine and Ireland says war games off its coast are 'not welcome'....The moves come amid rising tensions about Russia's military build-up on the Ukraine border that were not eased during talks between US Secretary of State Antony Blinken and Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov on Friday. "
Lets Get Real:
The QUESTION everyone is ASKING, will Putin invade, well having one hundred and twenty seven thousand Armed and Navy personnel on the Ukraine is one hell of a ego boost, if that is all it is. The Kremlin must be looking at a weak President in the Oval Office and a scandal prone PM in 10 Downing Street, thus if your Putin you must be thinking, is it worth a punt, on averages it look good, but then what about the sanctions, will they bring the Russian economy to its knees, over the past few years the Putin Government has attempted to prevent such shocks hitting the Russian economy, but heavy sanctions would have a long term effect. On the other hand Putin would have the Ukraine. The idea of going after the Baltic States or Poland should be a no go even for Putin, it would lead to Word War 3. Thus it can be postulated that Putin will go for the Ukraine, but then stop, of course when you start a WAR plans go out of the window. Let's recall the USSR invaded Afghanistan in 1979, the local insurgence was supported by the Reagan Administration, and the USSR was forced out in 1988/89. Thus Putin is taking a major risk.
