When Reading Neal's post made me remember a reporter on Danish TV saying that Russia will not allow Ukrania become close to EU.

This have made me wonder what Russia is going to do after the Olympic is over.

Maybe nothing or?

The humour is hard to see if it sounds exactly like former attacks by others and their intended deformations of what I said. Your first two points, Oberon, I realised to be exaggerations, but handing the law to the Mafia at the latest was where humour failed me. I mean most people going to elections even vote for mafia-like organised crime with a monopole to justify itself. That's where not just humour but hope also fails me.

But okay, I now got your point, Oberon. No hard feelings.

I'm afraid of what's going to happen next week after the Olympics is over.

I'm afraid, that if a agreement haven't been made, the Ukrainian government with the support from Russia is going to engage the military against the civilians.

I hope I'm wrong.

European Union now says that it has settled on sanctions that target those Ukrainian officials that they hold response for this violence.

Can't see them having any real effect on the ground though.

Everybody raise your hand, who wants to meddle in this conflict? Who's going to call Putin's bluff? Anybody?
I'm not to EU savvy, do they have a military? Would they stick up for them (Western Ukraine)? Maybe they could join/re-join Poland? 1618 boarders

Just in: Yanukovych claims he's reached a deal with the opposition to end the crisis. I wonder if Vladimir was on the phone overnight?

I have no problem with your criticism but rather with your visions.
After all we all do our share of ranting about politicians.

As for the ukraine if this does not escalate further EU will do what is does best in those situations... nothing.
Not surprised if EU let Putin do his best just to avoid some ongoing mess under their noses , might be too exposing.
Putin does his job then two month pass by and everybody gets with their lives.
Even some diplomatc compromise might be reached.
No need for you to worry about.

Once the deal is signed and the small print has been read it shouldn't be too difficult to see if Putins fingerprints are there.
