lol, nah the Russians can take a whole lot more than that. Actually they're taking Ukrainian bases as we speak. Don't overestimate the Ukrainian forces, they're good but no match for Russia's military capabilities and vast resources. Kiev is nearly bankrupt, and the new regime isn't even a week old. In order for the Russians to be stopped you'd need a NATO response of some sort. Is the EU/US actually gonna dedicate military assistance to the Ukranians against an opponent with pretty much all the advantage? This is a pretty silly cold war game being played right now on the part of the West. They knew full well that fukkin with Ukraine would come with a response from Moscow.
Its kinda fukked up how the West is playing their hand. The EU want Ukraine for their own reasons..but dont really wanna dedicate the resources(military,etc) to help em out. But knowing full well the grassroots movement there cant sustain any type of force against Russia if it comes to that. But thats where i think that the US will do its trademarked war by proxy shyt and have some secret squirrel "freedom fighters" type shyt going on to push back the Russians.
Crimea is a whole other story, but its the catalyst like we were saying earlier in the week. Thats the melting pot there. If anything goes down it will start there, and creep into the mainland imo.
