It depends on how the people see these troops. If they see them like oppressors, they will be oppressors. In Crimea, different thing happened. They just didn't see them in that way. I think.



Taking a page out of the Bush Iraq propaganda book.

Invasion is easy. Occupation is hard. Just hope the Balkanization of the 'federation' is worth Sevastopol's army base.

Ukraine demanded the release of hostages lest necessary actions will be taken or something like that.

Edit: First headline on the page: 'In Karabakh held a concert in honor of the self-determination of Crimea' Um, not with the ridiculous vote.

I was just complaining and I did use google translate :P

I did read the translation and I at least get the gist of it. Maybe they are going to use cyberwarfare.

Google translation into English cruelly butchers anything that isn't from Western Europe, really. Sometimes to the point of saying something else entirely. From the site Sergarr linked, one headline was:
Quote
В Севастополе временно задержан командующий ВМС Украины

Which it translates as:

Quote
In Sevastopol, temporarily detained by the commander of the Ukrainian Navy

Exactly the opposite of what happened, it seems.

Look who wants to join Russia!

:D Pure comedy.

Btw, that article has quite a different number of those russian wives comparing to the articles in israelis newpapers. i wonder which ones skewed the numbers...

In another news, i have recently read that now russia threaten to temper with the western attempts of blocking the iranian nuclear bomb if the sanctions against russians continue.

There's lots of things Russia could do diplomatically. That's actually what everyone is hoping for. The alternative is pretty unsettling.

Just be glad Ahmadinejad isn't in office anymore.

Ukraine is preparing the withdrawal of their troops and their families from Crimea. Ukraine is also leaving the CIS.

Google translate sucks. It's even bad with German -> English sometimes. You get a general idea of the content, but through tiny translation mistakes the whole thing can become difficult to understand and very misleading. Seen that with many Russian or Ukrainian texts that were posted here.

I can see why they would think that Russia could do something for them.  Cause we all know who the red headed step child is.
