Crimea crisis: Fears of war grow as Ukrainian officer is killed at military base in Simferopol

All of this was going to happen no matter what Obama said or did. The question now is how far Putin pushes into Ukraine. I think if we would stay out of it he may stop. The more we demand he stops the more likely it is he will push further north of Crimea.

- 3Posted by Zenphamy 12 years agoIn the spirit of the UN's Small Arms Treaty (which we conceived and wrote) we're destroying those arms. It's even gotten to the point that we now collect all the old brass at Army ranges and shred them rather than sell them to citizen re-loaders.| Mark as read | Parent | Best of... | Permalink

- 3Posted by Zenphamy 12 years agoThink of all the money we've spent on all those arms. Reminds me of driving into San Fran from the north years ago and seeing all those rusting ships at anchor in the bay.| Mark as read | Parent | Best of... | Permalink
