Ukraine Prepares For War. Troops on High Alert

You're wrong. In Crimea there's 80% Russian majority, and Russians will keep it somehow, either directly or control through some sort of agreement with Ukrainian government.......in the eastern and southern regions there are percentages you mention and there is where the real danger of insurgency lies.

Now, that the prospect of Ukraine joining Customs Union is over, Putin only cares for Sevastopol base for access to the Mediterean, Russians in Crimea give him a perfect excuse to inavde while looking patriotic. That and NATO radars and listening posts in Ukraine.

Depend on if you count Sevastopol or not. Without, it is more my numbers.
Sevastopol is not part of the Crimean Region of Ukraine from an organisation point of view
if I understand correctly.

An insurgency could be organised from Kiev, while trying to wash their hands outwards.

Whether or not Ukraine is to join the E.U. or not remains to be seen.
Think the E.U. learned a lesson from Hungary, and will need guarantees that
fascism will be curbed, before that happens, and no way before the economy is in shape.
A trade agreement is likely whatever Putin says.
The contents of such an agreement is debatable.

As for "perfect excuse", according to news, Putin is backing off and claiming that the troops were
Crimean self defense forces. Unfortunately noone have informed the troops,
because they seem to think they are Russian.
Only heard a translation of his interview, though, so I let others judge the validity.

Russian troops can give security to Ukranians. Many Ukranians just watch the events silent, they understand now that criminal puppet regime of kiev is impotent and cant secure the ukranian population. Klitschko and his fellow clowns will fall like domino stones.

Domino stones ? Are you under the impression that Fred Flinstone and Barney Rubble played Domino in the paleolithic ?

Or they may choose to believe the stories on Internet about 100s of thousand of Ukrainians killed by the Red Army/NKVD after the war and many more deported, and decide that enough is enough.
Some security...

Now Russia has backed off after their stock market had dropped by 10% costing them $60 bn losses, the possibility of losing their seat in the G8, and yet more international isolation, and finally, the opposition of 73% of Russians to the escalation and the opposition of Russian traditional allies.

LOL backed off??

Our troops are still in Crimea, and not leaving, and our stock went up again by 6%.

Stocks went up because troops were ordered back in their baracks at the eastern border and Putin showed signs of de-escalation.

The Troops are still on the border.

 

[BLACKEAGLE]

The Troops are still on the border.

But they haven't executed the orders of taking control of Qirm peninsula as were intended by Russia.

The Troops are still on the border.

As i've said,situation has winded down,they're not conducting military exercises,no shot was fired in Crimea and violence didn't erupt in Eastern Ukraine.The situation seems stable,albeit fragile.
