So Obama just spoke about the situation in the Crimea and said that he very concerned about the possibility of Russia invading Ukraine. He also said that if this happens, there will be consequences.
Of course, since these consequences have not been named, there is little hope that the warning will work.
In the meanwhile, Putin is saying that it is completely accidental that military maneuvers are being conducted on Ukrainian borders. “We’ve got an army and that’s what armies do, they conduct training maneuvers from time to time,” he explained.
A large group of ethnically Russian people of the Crimea wrote a letter to Putin telling him they are fine and please to stay away. Putin says that he will protect the ethnic Russians in Ukraine because he just knows they are in danger.
The President of Chechnya, the billionaire Kadyrov, says he is also ready to send Chechen troops to protect Russians and Chechens in Ukraine.
Russian pro-Putin bloggers are spreading rumors that there are gallows being constructed in Kiev to hang Jews.
