The US warned Moscow to be "very careful" in its judgements after Vladimir Putin put armed forces in western Russia on alert, as tensions mounted in the pro-Russian Crimea over the overthrow of Moscow ally Viktor Yanukovych by pro-European protesters.
Amid fears the country could fragment in the struggle between its pro-Russian and pro-European regions, Mr Putin flexed his military muscle by ordering war games involving 150,000 troops along the Ukrainian border.
John Kerry, the US secretary of state, raised the spectre of an East-West standoff as he insisted the US and Russia did not need to get into an "old cold war confrontation" over the country. He called on the Kremlin to "keep its word" over the unity of Ukraine, as the White House urged "outside actors" in the region to respect the country's sovereignty.
NATO also turned up the pressure on Russia, saying it would continue to support "Ukrainian sovereignty and independence, territorial integrity, democratic development and the principle of the inviolability of frontiers"

Don't you think the US and NATO should mind their own business instead of acting like the world's policemen? They should stop their habit of poking their noses where they aren't wanted. Let the Russians and Ukrainians sort out the issue by themselves.
But then, old habits die hard. The Americans are aching for intervention. It's like a drug and they're hooked!
