More news on the situation in Ukraine: the shit has officially hit the fan. From the looks of it, we may be seeing Ukraine split into two countries.

    That would be Putins goal if he cannot bring the Crimea into Russia proper. With a 60% ethnic Russian population, that might be his ultimate goal. Get them independent, then get them to ask to be included in Russia. Like Texas did . You know, Independent, then state. Of course Putin would never allow it to be free from Russia gain, no matter what the populace wanted.
