That's why that force is being moved there Wolfie, its neighborhood watch, it will meet further Russian aggression with Blunt Force, those Russian forces that go out to meet them had better be their best, or they will suffer a similar fate to the building invaders. No one is amused at Putin's gamesmanship, and yes he is playing his favorite role well, but now the dynamic has changed, Russia is the aggressor here, I know that, you know that, and Russia knows that. No, the free world is not going to face WW III, Vlad has taken a calculated risk to gain a prize, and he has won the Cherry while the rest of the free world rung their hands trying to decide what to do. They have decided to say "NO", nothing more, nothing less. Yes the handringers are still ringing their hands, but not in public, they finally realized that in-action was inviting more action by the Russians???? amazing huh????
You don't poke the bear and expect to come out unskaved.
I seldomly see eye-to-eye with the Obama administration when it comes to foreign policy, but in this instance, inaction is really the only viable choice for the west.
You call the Russians aggressors, yet one can argue what the Russians did and are doing is little different to the role the west played in toppling the original, democratically elected Ukranian government through mob violence and great loss of life on both sides(the west really has built up quite a reputation for doing this sort of thing over the years). The west didn't half egg on and lend support to the Madien thugs, even bragging about how it spent $5bn promoting 'democracy' in Ukraine in recent years.
Compared to what happened in Kiev, the Russian countermove have been far far less bloody and ugly to be honest, until the same thugs from Madien moved in recently, that is.
The mistake the west made was first to make a bold play against a vital Russian interest when everyone knows the west's bottom line, which is that no western country is willing to pay the price in blood or treasure to directly fight in Ukraine against the locals, never mind the Russians. Secondly, the west erred horribly by getting into bed with some extremely nasty people in order to achieve its goals, and the blood and violence those thugs unleashed has shocked and dismayed anyone who has seen more than the sanitised and white washed drivel mainstream western media has been peddling.
The Ukrainans themselves saw that as clear as day, which is why so many if them are resisting the new order established by those thugs.
Those people burning and bleeding in those images are clearly not Russian green men, but locals. If those right sector thugs carry on as they have, they risk starting a racial war. And those have a habit to turning real nasty, real fast.
