Cannot help but wonder how its all going to pan out , dangerous, very dangerous.

Russia intimidating Estonia it seems. No wonder NATO has upped its presence in the Baltics

Let's face it, this is a US/EU land grab and nothing more.

Remind me who has grabbed land in this case. Oh, no need, I just remembered. It was Russia.

Maybe your memory isn't that great.

Blimey, Russia did not annexe the Crimea either, via a "referendum" that did not offer the option of the status quo . Nope, never, not at all

Article 1
The Purposes of the United Nations are:

What has that got to do with Russia invading Ukraine? Particularly with tank variants only Russia uses?

Just one report here: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-30907443

Another here, "rebels" admitting Regular Russian forces involved (if we were ever stupid enough to think otherwise)
