I agree, but he will keep going north to all of the states on his boarder using the same method he did here. Send in the gangs, change the mayors and city councils and then raise the Russian flag. Why would he stop in the Crimea.

They all need his protection and he needs control of all the pipelines. Who will stop him? Oh wait John Kerry LOL

How come, it’s midnight there ...

Not much of a moon either...

Dark of night, no moon! This is the perfect condition for special ops or stealth aircraft combat ops.

Putin already has control of the pipelines....the turn off valves aren’t in Ukraine if you know what I mean.

Putin’s simply making his plays because he can... and there’s few who can stop him if he really wanted to take over Ukraine or any other nation for that matter..that is not his goal.

Keep in mind China is all but supporting Putins moves.....you don’t think that doesn’t also play into the mix over how far Obama can go. He has zilch clout or power over there and Putin knows that fully well.

7 minutes ago BBC have now changed their article to: Two explosions have been heard in Simferopol, Crimea’s capital, with no official details yet available. /u/uptodatepronto

8 minutes ago Sources say that the Russian army blew up ammunition stocks in Simferopol, which would explain the explosions heard.
