Russian forces occupy the Crimea.

13 Russian helicopters carrying 150 troops have occupied the city of Sevastapol in the Crimea.

This could be the start of something fucking huge.

Yeah. It's quite scary being in eastern Europe at the moment. I have been following the news with great interest.
When I was young, there was a god with infinite power protecting me. Is there anyone else who felt that way? And was sure about it? but the first time I fell in love, I was thrown down - or maybe I broke free - and I bade farewell to God and became human. Now I don't have God's protection, and I walk on the ground without wings, but I don't regret this hardship. I want to live as a person. -Arina Tanemura

Earlier I read it was actually a militia group. Seems a bit suspicious turning up with Russian military weapons and vehicles though.

This is a very complex issue happening in that part of the world. Only time will tell what the true motives of the backers of this "revolution" have in store for the Ukrainian people.

Half the world has Russian weapons.

It would be really awesome to have a war between Russia and another country with a decent army . It would be like watching a live action movie .

I hope it doesn't happen tho . Big Grin

On one hand you can hardly do anything other than condemn Russia interfering in other countries sovereignty. On the other hand I feel like if the American government does such, they have no sense of national irony.

I hope it does happen... but that's because I'm the sort of sick fuck who would rather see the global cold war come to an end with some nice spiciness Big Grin

I do believe Obama did have a speech along those lines. Recently too XD
