Extra-terrestrials can't be feminists because they are gender neutral, and they can't be Marxists because they are class neutral. So if they are funding this whom Ukraine thing is out of some particular interest in conquering Kiev and make it the first bastion for their upcoming invasion or something...

Of course, you haven't considered who in turn may be funding the extra-terrestrials...

I'm getting tired of all this Earthism and the blaming of other planet's peoples... Earthists should have no place in a forum like this.

There is an old Eastern/Central European joke that goes something like this "When you live between The Germans on one side and the Russians on the other, you hide your women and your alcohol." Enough said.

Which of course, also explains my edited avatar Embarrassed

I never post anything anywhere without doing more than basic research, often in depth.

You should move here to Wales, Dean.

We shag our sheep whilst drinking a damned good pint of Cwrw. No wonder I became a citizen here LOL

Of course, the said sheep are completely behind the present problems in Ukraine. Bloody Trots, eh?

Ah, Teo. You fell into that Americanism of regarding England as the whole island. I was very specific in stating England and not Great Britain. If I do the complete substitution into Thomas's quote you (and Steve Wink

) will see things a little differently:

"When you live between The Welsh on one side and the Scots on the other, you hide your sheep and your alcohol." Enough said.

What?

Is it going to be the 3rd world war?! Ouch

Ukraine in full army mobilisation: Ukraine announces a full military mobilisation in response to the continuing Russian build-up of forces in Crimea.

And so close to our bordedrs... And to think we were planning to visit Crimea with our Ukrainian friends on holidays...

And this was posted by my bro on FB:

The yesterdays Russian Federation lower house of parliament and presidents Putin statements and subsequent actions reminds the 17th of September 1939, invasion of Poland:
(...) The Soviet government also cannot remain indifferent when the brothers of the same blood, Ukrainians and Belarusians residing in the Polish territory and left to their own fate, are without any defense.
Given this situation, the Soviet government issued orders to the high command of the Red Army to cross the border and act to defense the life and property of the population of Western Ukraine and Western Belarus.
The Soviet government also intends to make every effort to free the Polish people from the ill-fated war in which they were driven by the foolish leaders, and give them the possibility of existence in peace.
Signed: People's Commissar for Foreign Affairs

I wholeheartedly agree!

Actually Crimea is Russian. It became a part of Ukraine during the cold war period and USSR reign.

^ Actually, it's neither Ukrainian nor Russian but Tatar. Russians conquired it and later the Soviets threw them out and killed. But some of them returned.
And it's true that Crimea was given to Ukraine after the II WW by Nikita Khrushchev (an Ukrainian BTW).

Yes, this is correct. Khrushchev had a great affinity for Ukraine as he governed the "republic" under Stalin. The ceding of Crimea to Ukraine was of course mostly symbolic in the days of the USSR. However, the region has always been critical to the Soviets and Russians mostly due to the naval base that hosts their Black Sea fleet. I'm sure Russia would love to simply "have" the base rather than lease it from the Ukrainians.
