No we shouldn't. I was in Kiev last week on business and I can tell you that people there are really happy that they've finally got rid of a Russian puppet as President and they can work on getting rid of corruption now but they're literally scared to the point of having bags prepared to run right now.

The irony is, apart from the very east of Ukraine, they've never been more solidified as a nation which is working against Putin. The more he plays the bad guy, the more they become anti-Russian.

But we have to remember these days the Russia isn't the Soviet Union. They don't have anything like the military they did and allot of what they do have is old. The problem that people in Kiev see is that he has nukes and natural gas. They need that gas - Ukraine gets very cold from October to March - and they're scared of the nukes. He could launch one and no one will retaliate. They'll scorn him and put up more sanctions, even China might put up sanctions, but ultimately he could conceivably get away with it. This makes people very very nervous.

Pootin is a Narcissist ....it's like he wants to rebuild the military.... and in the process of doing it... poke at other countries to make a name for himself....and I don't think China would appreciate it much if he launched a nuke anywhere....they are enjoying an economy boom...he won't get away with it that's for sure

I agree Shaun...there's a good chance China has already reinforced their boarders with mobile launchers already...Pootin would be foolish to play the nuke hand ...In my mind there are two countries you just don't mess with... they don't play poker ;) ....That would be Israel and China ....when it comes to retaliation ....not only are they quick... but will give no Quarter no matter what the world community might think ....Hooo Ra!!!! for them ;)
