Well here we go...I would not be surprised if the invasion begins under the pretenses of this exercise (They have done it before), if there going to invade now would be the probable time to do it. If they don't do it this time I am going to guess they are waiting for one more or one very serious battle to break out between Ukrainian forces and Pro Russian forces, as Russia has threatened very recently they will use military force if there interests are threatened. Ukraines foreign minister has stated that they are ready to fight the Russians at this point, if this actually goes through I am hoping for the U.S. and NATO to start supplying equipment to Ukraine, we can't just let the Russians get away with an invasion of that magnitude. This has been said many times but Ukraine will not be able to fight Russia alone and win, they will definitely do better than Georgia but they will not be able to win.
Thoughts?

Figures that this kind if sh!t would hit the fan when the U.S. is hacking military budgets with a machete! I love me some 'merica but Russia is a bear we shouldn't be poking.

People, please. The media you are believing - is telling you lies. This is nothing but an information war. Can you really prove that what the media is feeding you is true? Remember, you are eating crap from the same media that fed you the same crap during the USA sponsored South Osetian conflict. The US is trying to choke Russia by buying out Russian neibhours (Baltic states, Georgia, Ukraine, etc...). Why is the US caring so much for a small country so far away? Because clearly it invested so much into it that it wants to see results. It doesn't care that neo-[url=http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Godwin%27s_law]-godwinslaw!-[/url] are representing the current government in Ukraine - all they care about is that these neo-[url=http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Godwin%27s_law]-godwinslaw!-[/url] are against Russia. There is no Russian military presence in Ukraine, tough to believe - but once you realise that the media is lying to you, it will be too late.

Posted the same thing a few minutes ago, thought I'd share it because I pasted the article in the topic. It's from a different source, though. On topic, I really hope that this doesn't escalate outside of the boarders of the Ukraine.

I don't want the US to get boots on the ground, and hurting relations with Russia, and or pissing off Russia is a huge gamble. I'm hoping for the best, but shits getting dicey
