Indeed not; but there's a reason it's called Mutually Assured Destruction.

Is this another Cuban Missile Crisis style crisis?

No, on this occasion it's just a fckwit.

HTH

It takes one fckwit to identify another one so I will take the above as confirmation.....

The only conclusion is that the west really couldn't and shouldn't do anything. Crimea has always wanted to be Russian and Russia doesn't want the other bits of Ukraine

This bit was funny

It’s a sad day for America when you have to get your honest news from the pigs at Goldman Sachs, B of A, and Morgan Stanley. Kind of like Clarice having to walk through a gauntlet of tossed cum to hear Hannibal Lecter’s take on the latest serial killer

Reports of first shots fired upon Ukrainian military units in Crimea that did not surrender - there is apparently one wounded, snipers shooting reported.

Personally speaking, I can't really see what all the fuss is about.
Whilst I have no doubt that the voting figures were portrayed in the best possible light, I also have no doubt that a sizeable majority of Crimeans want to be part of Russia rather than be attached to the parts of Ukraine that are getting a stiffy about the possibility of joining the EU.
Even leaving aside the "warm water ports" argument, this action by the Russkies is little different to the sort of thing the USA and the West routinely do across the globe for strategic advantage.
Whilst many of our politicians will get on their high moral horses to condemn this, they are being obsessively hypocritical.

Just saying....

Three weeks ago, their Prime Minister, Donald Tusk, called a press conference to warn that “the world stands on the brink of conflict, the consequences of which are not foreseen… Not everyone in Europe is aware of this situation.”

Doodab is certainly not aware of this situation.

There is actually another theory, one which I think holds some substance, as to why Putin has acted this way...fear. Just maybe he's frightened of how the Ukranians have revolted against what could be seen as a corrupt dictatorship which is not too dissimilar to Russia and decided to nip their act of getting out of a 'managed democracy' into a possible 'real democracy' in the bud. Fear that the people of Russia might also follow in their footsteps and ask for more accountability of their leaders. Would also go someway to explain why he put the leader of the opposition in Russia under house arrest prior to his annexation of the Crimea...
