These polls make me wonder. I think right now, if Ukraine moves to squash these "Police Station" rebellions and issues a stern F-You! to Russia, then they just might be able to stand them down.

In the long run Russia will lose lots of gas and oil sales as other countries route fuel to Europe.

TV and the Internet are shrinking the world at an accelerating rate. The Southern accent in Texas is basically dead other than amongst people over 60 years of age and the same thing is happening to human languages. In 15 years, there will be a dozen or so languages which anybody other than historians speak and Ukrainian will not be one of them. Anybody in the Ukraine who isn't retarded speaks Russian now and even the retards will catch up in another five years. Ukrainian is basically a dead language and time is on Putin's side.

Other soon-to-be-dead languages include Dutch, Danish, Norwegian, Swedish, Finish, Hungarian.....

“It is classic Russian foreign policy to try to destabilize a country before it completely takes it over,”

Umm. Russia didn't start this mess. Those who overthrew the Ukrainian government did. Maybe they should have pondered the consequences of their actions beforehand.

Nice polling, but since when does popular sentiment in the invaded country count in the mind of the invador?

Putin is a bully, and bullies need their noses bloodied before they stop.

Who will punch Putin in the nose?

Nobody.

Putin wins.

Why Putin’s Adventure in Ukraine Is Doomed

Because there are signs on the border that read "No shirt, no shoes, no service".

Putin acts, Obama yaks.

Putin will prevail.

Obama is a pussy.

The Europeans are venal and won’t do anything to endanger their energy supplies.

The only war they will fight is one where the USA does the heavy lifting for them.

“It is classic Russian foreign policy to try to destabilize a country before it completely takes it over,”

I guess Obama, Soros, and the sodomite Soviet EU copied the Russian tactics when they spent billions destabilizing Ukraine and using neo-Nazi firebomb throwing thugs to overthrow the legitimate government.

And when was the last time the Russians invaded or took over a country? Decades ago when they were controlled by the Communists?

Russia has had the naval base in Crimea since 1783.

I would not want America to give up a naval base that we had been operating since 1783.

The rest is just taunting, taunting, fear, uncertainty, doubt - the Russians are coming, the Russians are coming !

All to get American conservative rank-and-file to get behind finishing up the assimilation of Ukraine into the European Union.

Along with the rest of Eastern Europe, one at a time.

The EU is not even a country.

It’s a collection of globalist minions reporting to the financial elites of the world.

All the elites talk about is “can this country make their upcoming bond interest payments”.

Just listen to Bloomberg tv, that’s most of what they talk about, the current financial situation of globalism.

To the globalists, it’s all one grand old soirée for them, and a life of taxes and debt under an authoritarian government for the sheeple.
