Brilliant move. Isn't Crimea still a peninsula? Still surrounded by water? So now the Russians will build what's necessary to provide the water without depending on Ukraine. Besides which, doesn't it give justification for Russia annexing a strip of land to connect Crimea to Russia until the emergency is resolved?

I'm reading all of the stuff people are posting here and they're leaving out one detail. Russia has not cut off gas to Ukraine even though the bill is unpaid. So where's the justification?

Is it just me, or is this Kiev coup gov incapable of good decisions?

“Is it just me, or is this Kiev coup gov incapable of good decisions?”

Not only is the coup government not making good decisions, they are purposefully antagonizing the big guy with all the guns next door.

They are being pushed hard by the Soros/Omidyar/USAid-financed hard-right radicals, as well as by the Obama administration, their financier.

It seems as if they are TRYING to prod Russia to action, and that is most likely coming from Washington.

I think they're tempting Russia to cut off the gas. I believe Gazprom is the major supplier for both Ukraine and much of the EU and he's on the new list of assets to freeze.

Same low life folks from the 2004 Revolution.

The problem is just you. For example, there is no coup gov in Ukraine. The interim Ukrainian government is just the Ukrainian rada that was democratically elected in October 2012. Yanukovych wasn't overthrown. He fled to a foreign enemy since he knew impeachment was inevitable.

If you can't even get this right, what makes you think you can judge anybody's decision making?
