So far, president Vladimir Putin and top-level Russian government figures have hinted at taking Kharkov, Odessa and 3 other regions. What do you think is going to be their way of solving the crisis in Ukraine, depending on the particular way the West and their fascist puppet in Kiev choose to go? Which way do you think is the most rational?

    I expect Russia will annex most of Ukraine except the western territories where most nationalists are. Interestingly enough, we may see Hungary, Poland, and Romania jump on the annexation bandwagon as well at that point. All of them have been making noises at one time or another, and if it starts looking like Ukraine is falling over, they might decide to be opportunistic.

    Best case scenario for Ukraine at this point is that it’s going to be a nonfunctional rump state. Russia already annexed a lot of industrial and agricultural territory, and Putin just said that Russia will need a buffer to protect against long range NATO missiles. This implies that Russia is planning to turn a few hundred kilometres into a buffer zone. I doubt Putin would be publicly stating this if the decision wasn’t already made.

      I suppose they could get opportunistic, though of course they’ll have to deal with the Banderites and all the Nazis themselves. I wonder how much weaponry that “was lost to corruption” will suddenly pop up there.

      Not to mention the migration crisis that might be created.
