Russia rushes into the Ukraine the way Germany rushed into Czechoslovakia. The justification for Germany was to protect the Germans who were in Czechoslovakia just as the justification of the Russians are to protect the Russians in the Ukraine..
It seems to me that Russia was well prepared to takes the steps that it took to move into Crimea, and that she has contingency plans with the rest of the Ukraine, the Western counties look clueless.
I don't think that the Russians had planed to move into the Ukraine if Mykola Azarov was prime minister, but they had contingency plans, the West is just playing it by ear.
I'm now going to state something that will be hard for the readers to understand, economic sanctions against Russia by the West will hurt the West in the long run, economic sanctions in retaliation by Russia will bring havoc to the Russian economy. Economic war between East and West is a destabilizing event especially with the fragil world economies.
Now what can the West do to with what appears to be naked agression by the Russians?
I'm not sure, perhaps ignor Russia in places that aren't close to the Russian border.
We've ended the cold war, because we didn't want a hot one, and we make get a hot one anyway if were not carefull.
