re: #468 Dr Lizardo

That is an act of war. Apparently, no one in the world has the balls to tell Putin to knock it the fuck off.

Oh, you mean that Putin has just had Russia violate a treaty they signed regarding the Ukraine’s territorial integrity? Of course, with Yanuk he now has the cover story for the interference. Though I expect he will just seize and separate the Crimea into an “independent” nation with this and not actually try to put Yanuk back in charge of the whole country.

I guess the rest of the world can take this the UN Security Council where it can run afoul of a nice Russian veto. Superpower politics.

I don’t like it. But I am not surprised one iota by it. One you get into realpolitik the big boys can get away with just about anything they want, especially in their generally accepted sphere of influence.
