The armatures in Ukraine Gov. have no clue how to handle this IMO.....but I believe they want Nato troops on their soil so standing their ground in Crimea....(Russia) would be better for them then to have this stand on Ukraines soil.

8 men have stayed at the gate, others went inside.
Photogs setting up to take pics and film of the armed troops.
More dramatic than the original unarmed protestors, I guess.

Don’t worry, Ukraine isn’t a Muslim country ... so Obama has no interest in fighting for it
To: tcrlaf
These protesters should not have gone there and let Russia and Ukraine authorities determine how the Military should be withdrawn...IMO. Bad move on their part.

Well this is happening at Crimea...which by Russian standards is officially Russian Territory now.
But these Russian protesters should not have gone there...looks like some of them need to have their heads examined and Putin needs to get the thugs in line along with Ukraines theirs as well.

The Russian federal authorities have no official presence yet in Crimea and the federal city of Sevastopol. That is what makes it a dangerous situation.
At the moment Russia’s Constitutional Court is reviewing the treaty terms and after that Russia’s Parliament will have to ratify it. Russia at the moment is the de facto not the de jure sovereign in Crimea.
But its clear that Ukraine’s days in Crimea are numbered.

Putting the flag up was more than enough. ..and probably went too far itself. But going to the Offices etc. was way out of line.
