True - but it indicates they are not going to let any naval asset operate without real threat anywhere close to the Crimea.

If only we had an airplane designed to prevent Russian tanks from pushing west into Europe..

I think the bigger point is if only there weren't just 6 NATO members meeting the prescribed budget for military spending they agreed to.

Gotta pay for all that socialized bullshit first.

Yup - but slowly and reluctantly I think they are starting to realize that they actually live in a really nice neighborhood but with some really really bad neighbors...

and Poland is not going to get run over by history again, at least not without a real fight...

Don't Mess with Poland

Did a lot of support missions with the Poles in RC east. They are some ballsy sons of bitches who are not afraid of a fight.

Historically, when the Blitzkrieg, with numerous Panzer Divisions rolled into Poland, the Polish Army went out and battled them... On horseback. Some would call that ballsy.

I wonder if Russia will deploy more troops to protect these Pro-Russia protesters?

https://www.reuters.com/article/2014/04/06/us-ukraine-crisis-storm-idUSBREA350B420140406

(Reuters) - Around 100 pro-Russian protesters stormed the regional government building in the eastern Ukrainian city of Donetsk on Sunday and hung up a Russian flag in defiance of Kiev's pro-European government.

This whole thing is reading out like the training scenarios used in high level command centers.

I used to make fun of the scenarios for being so un-realistic. :banghead:

Or a Clancy novel.

Russia is being an asshole and annexing neighbording countries again, and building up new nuclear systems, yup sounds like a good time to pull 50 of our ancient ICBMs from their silos.

I'll just leave these here...

Exclusive: Key General Splits With Obama Over Ukraine

https://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2014/04/11/exclusive-key-general-splits-with-obama-over-ukraine.html

"During classified briefings on March 26 and March 27, Gen. Philip Breedlove painted for members of the House Armed Services Committee a bleak picture of Russia’s actions—and warned that the United States was not taking steps it could to help Ukraine better defend itself. On several points—from estimates of Moscow’s troops to intelligence-sharing with Russia’s likely adversaries—Breedlove’s briefing directly contradicted the message coming from other branches of the Obama administration."

Edited: Added a couple of images of the gunmen and another link.
