"....And the US is different how exactly?"
They have long bankrolled the Alliance that was created to help stop this revisionist-USSR re-incarnation from spreading into western Europe's precious "Civilization". With precious little appreciation from their proteges. Great Britain is the exception historically, but for how long ...?
What price are you willing to pay to rebuff Vlad ...?
The 1949 Geneva Conventions state that "it is unlawful for belligerents to engage in combat without meeting certain requirements, such as wearing distinctive uniform or other distinctive signs visible at a distance" as well as "Impersonating soldiers of the other side by wearing the enemy's uniform is allowed, though fighting in that uniform is unlawful perfidy"
"distinctive signs" means national identity (flag or other distinctive, internationally recognized identifier)
Thanks, GrauGeist.
Another question then. President Yanukovich fled Kiev on 21th. Manifestations in Sevastopol started on 26th and Crimean Parliament was ceased the next day.Helicopters and cargo planes were firs witnesed on 28th. Is it possible to plan and organize an operation like this so fast?
From what I am seeing, this is not a spur-of-the-moment operation. It has the look and feel of a well planned operation. The groups of "pro-Russian" demonstrators that no one had seen before, the sudden appearance of Russian soldiers and ferries of Russian vehicles being landed along with all the other events.Thanks, GrauGeist.

".... Never let the facts get in the way of good old jingoism
Europe will not pay any price to rebuff the Russian Federation, why should it ? The Russians will have their way and we, like good little Princesses, will just have to suck it up. "
Little Princesses in your pink tutu's .... on your knees before Vlad. What a disgusting image you present, Stona, but no jingoism.
