    Soviet Union II

    I'm sure there will be strong action from the western powers, or plenty of meetings anyway.

    Is this a caption competition?

    Putin is saying 'Bollockski, I thought I was here to see the president and they sent me a golfer!'

      Meh. Even if he had sent troops across the border, it's be very arguable legitimate.
      'We' put boots on the ground in Lybia, which had no illusory WMDs and is hardly in our back yard.

      From everything I can see, the Ukrainians (not in general - the state) are savages.

        In general I agree, but we put boots on the ground to change the power structure, Russia seem to want to annexe. What will Europe/US do if they go ahead?

          Putin has short man syndrome.

          Russia needs a leader who is as tall as Yeltsin was.

          Alternatively the next UK PM or US president needs to be under 5ft 7'.

            SFA

            They will make a noise but won't do anything until Russia try and annex Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia or Finland.

              Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.

                We've been here before, not long ago:

                  Don't know. He must be a short a** as no source reveals his height.
