Looks like the republicunts are going to miss out on another war. What a shame. It would have been glorious. (Except for those who had to do the fighting.)

PARIS (AP) - The European Union prepared a $15 billion aid package to Ukraine on Wednesday and froze the assets of 18 people blamed for looting the treasury of the nearly bankrupt country. The moves came as top diplomats from the West and Russia gathered in Paris to defuse tensions that have approached Cold War levels.

Of course in a war one fights with what one has.

Unlike the USSR which had the world's most powerful conventional army and airforce, Russia today has nothing repectable except nuclear weapons.

It would truely have been glorious. I mean the what can be more glorious than the flash from a thermal nuclear detonation?
