Contrived as is, this is probably what Russia is genuinely thinking about the whole situation. | ||

True, Hitler at least waited almost a year. Contrived as is, this is probably what Russia is genuinely thinking about the whole situation. At least i'd say it's what's the media is trying to sell in russia. I think putin knows full well what he's doing and what it's called. | ||

Aksyonov - the similar to Ukraines current government - partially unrecognised leader of Crimea, officially asked Russia for help several days ago. As I understand it, many of the people living in Crimea sees primarily russian TV and are therefore afraid for their lives of an invation by armed nazis and fascists. There has therefore been a real wish for getting peacekeepers involved. Some were unusually well-equipped militias and to some degrees russian troops have entered. Now, the extremely concerning part seems to be the resolution Russia has for protecting Ukraine and not specifically Crimea. Putin has the russian accept for basically invading Ukraine under the guise of a peace-keeping operation. | ||

Once again this isn't actually happening tho. nothing has been done towards the Russian minority since the fall of Yanokovich. | ||

I thought he explicitly didn't request a russian military intervention? Also does the ukranian constitution grant the president this right witout consultation of the parliament? | ||

Umm, yes? He was democratically appointed president (who was corrupt as fuck, but still voted to be the president) who was overthrown by revolutionaries. Like it or not, he is still the legitimate president of Ukraine. | ||

Yanoukovich has been deposed by the parliament and is thus not a president anymore. Yanoukovich, during his press conference yesterday, has explicitely stated he didn't want military help. | ||
