All of these statements by individual Western governments have been worked out with each other beforehand; the US/UK/France know and approve of what Germany is going to say, Germany/UK/France know what the US is going to say and approves, etc. etc. They're on the phone with each other 24/7 right now.

Does anyone here know how far the crimean autonomy goes? Could they request russian assistance or a referendum for independence on their own?

No. They can't have any foreign policy on their own, and only all-Ukrainian referendums can be held according to the Constitution.

US primary point: "actions speak larger than words"
USA asking for international observers and sending of diplomatic envoy to Crimea. The rest seems relatively inocuous.
France calling for a dialogue not from another age (unmistakable talking about the world wars). Ukraines neighbors and France/UK/EU involvement in Ukraine is called for by France.

All those long speeches in UN could have been way shorter:

"We want to find peaceful way to solve situation in Ukraine"
Fusilero: "I still can't believe he did that, like dude what the fuck there's fandom and then there's what he did like holy shit. I still see it when I close my eyes." <- reaction to the original drunk santa post which later caught on

The US statement was slightly awkward imo, to me it came across as "You're always bitching at us in here when we do this kind of shit (and we get away with it anyway) and now you do it yourselves wtf?" =P

Russias representative seemed very riled up and to some degree US statement seemed to mirror that (I suspect they have been discussing loudly before the camera was turned on). UK and France seemed like more or less canned statements.

That's because other than Iraq all the times the peanut gallery has bitched at the US the US has had Europe on its side. The US has done it and gotten away with it once since the UN was created, Russia's done it over a dozen times since 1945. Most of those were back when the hammer and sickle were flying but it's still Russia.

Taking politics completely out of the situation. Why isn't the headline "Russia Invades The Ukraine"?


cuz they havent invaded anything yet?

Moving your military into a country without that countries permission is the definition of an invasion


its not that simple

Yanukovich can be considered a legitimate President of Ukraine atm
so if he asked for help...

no, just no


>Being installed at gunpoint by a bunch of guys who took over government buildings is not legitimate in any way whatsoever

he was removed by a bunch of guys who took over government buildings
so maybe it is proper way to install him back

there was only one incident when armed men entered the Parliament, and those were angry police officers before they were forced to leave very quickly. And the Paliament has always been swarmed by reporters. Yanukovich was impeached, deal with it.

That only gives them the ability to invade. Protecting American citizens includes annexation of territory and all the juicy economic benefits that entails.

If only they still did. Your "anti"-fascist hero Putin wouldn't have dared lift a finger.

No doubt the US has done similar stuff in the past, that doesn't make this any better. The whole thing is clearly a breach of the Budapest Memorandum and the obvious goal is to destabilize the Ukraine to gobble up some territory.

Where do Americans have a serious diaspora? Maybe Mexico?

Hell, our clown of a president isn't even bothering to attend the national security council meetings concerning the Ukraine. I don't think that he could express more apathy if he tried.

Americans don't have a diaspora, people come to America, they don't leave it much.
Mexico has a diaspora in America, not the other way around.

If you wanna take a dim suspicious view of things:
America comes in, maybe sets up a puppet government, and has some corporations make some money. But they always leave after awhile, and any government they propped up will be abandoned to its fate.
Great read: http://shorensteincenter.org/news-coverage-2016-general-election/ great book on democracy: http://press.princeton.edu/titles/10671.html zlefin is grumpier due to long term illness. Ignoring some users.
