The separatists didn't "capture" this weapon from Ukraine, it is an anti-tank missile that Ukraine does not have.

You do understand NATO, specifically the Germans, has to be on board with any action, right? Western Europe is not going to risk any economic impact by supporting any action in the Crimea region. If Putin decides to take Ukraine proper, maybe, but Crimea is not the geo-political hill to die on.
Well with that response... better you move on to those who’ll stand on one side or the other.
Ukraine’s conflict goes much further than it’s boundaries or sides some might have the need to take, which seems to suite you and that of placing others in one corner or the other as if it’s a boxing ring....I choose to see it otherwise.
I wonder what country Mad Vlad will invade next??
We Americans have our interest, you Jimmy Carter/Obama Russia supporters have your interests.
I’m with Cruz/Reagan, not Carter/Obama.
That depends on the mindset that wants to believe he’s intent on invading...... When we do that it’s called “opportunity”...when any another nation does so it’s called “invasion.”.... Different strokes for different folks.
Poland, the Balkans, Finland, and Sweden all seem to think that they are on his list, and with his remarks on the Stans, they are also.
The more he can grow and consolidate, then the longer that list will become, until it includes the countries that it used to include, Great Britain, France, the United States, and the world.
Still trying to pigeon hole posters into your framework.
Hard to believe Mad Vlad literally threatened Kazakhstan their ally like that, and now they are threatening Poland for not allowing that plane to fly over. lol
They are very think-skinned for barbarians
So he invades when he has an “opportunity” because he is an evil mad man dictator.
The separatists didn't "capture" this weapon from Ukraine, it is an anti-tank missile that Ukraine does not have.
I think the positions they take so determinedly and passionately, does that.
We have American paratroopers in Poland, and we will soon have forward bases to try and check this empire reassembly.
Meanwhile the west does nothing to help Ukraine, probably will do nothing if he decides to go after Kazakhstan next as a diversion
.....”Conservatives should have gone to the mat to keep Gingrich and a couple of others from the same time period, warts and all, but they didn’t.....Now the democrat fascist party knows they can cut the nutz off any Republican majority with completely made up “scandals” and “ethics violations” because Republicans and Conservatives in general much prefer hanging individually to hanging together.”.....
Agreed....but am still hopeful we’ll get both Houses despite the scandals sure to unfold by the demorats to prevent that...and what they will do even after the fact.
Nasty business anymore in our Congress and among Politicians...though it has always been so it’s become increasingly more about their next election and perks to sustain themselves, and the advantages to information they can acquire wealth from...then about our country or it’s citizens.

Rapid Trident is designed to promote regional stability and security, strengthen partnership capacity, and foster trust while improving interoperability between USAREUR, the land forces of Ukraine, and other PfP and NATO partner nations.
More than just an exercise
YAVORIV, Ukraine -- Paratroopers from (left to right) the U.S. Army, Canada, the United Kingdom, Belarus, Poland and Ukraine embrace for a photograph to commemorate an event they won't soon forget.
Russia won’t like it at all. lol
I thought Reuters wasn’t accepted as a reliable source here????? Most get bashed when they use it.
You think they made up this story about our annual exercise in Ukraine?
