Russia will think a lot harder about taking on Ukraine than Georgia. The Ukraine has a much better and larger military. They can call up a million men if necessarily if memory serves.
I don’t think Russia wants to light that fuse.
I think Russians would threated Ukraine and back down like little crying little b***h
They don’t want open up that cans of worms
Maybe they could find some legal loophole to jack up their lease.
Is there a country Russia has missed warning? Have they remembered to warn Costa Rica to save them some bananas?
OK- so what kind of event will Russia engineer to have an excuse to go storming in to the Ukraine?

Maybe the plus side of this situation is that the Russians wake up, smell the coffee, and scrap this KGB demon?
