You're just heart broken because you have lost your Ukrainian slaves run away..
I never said Yanukovych was a brutal dictator, I just said he favours closer ties with the country of his mother birthplace
It's clear as day... There wasn't much backing needed to help Ukraine like the rest of the Eastern block break free from there previous brutal rulers
When Yanukovych was elected it was not for closer ties with Russia HTH -

I'm not a Russian and I don't like NATO. What a surprise, right?

But in your previous post, you say:
It's clear as day... There wasn't much backing needed to help Ukraine like the rest of the Eastern block break free from there previous brutal rulers
Then..
When Yanukovych was elected it was not for closer ties with Russia HTH -
He was not for joining NATO also which Ukraine people knew, which was my point.

Just to end up. It is true that some people were for not breaking ties with EU, but what about the other half of people? There should had been a referendum, which could had settled all of this, but no, suddenly those EU "protesters" got weapons and everything. From that point, everything went to hell. Russia just wanted to protect their people from potential danger. Just like when NATO and USA stepped in the protect poor Albanians, and then they bombed my country for almost three months. Western democracy everybody!

or indeed, any evidence of such a troop build up might be found

And secondly, Russia has fully rights to send their troops at their borders. But on the other hand, who allowed NATO to do so? Or they can do anything they want, because they are more powerful than the international law?

How long has it been since the Geneva talks? hmm, has it been a week.
Not being military myself, How long would it take to make a decision to perform exercises in Europe, then get all the troops and every thing else that is need to station them there, we are talking 600 troops at the moment, at the moment, at the moment...
What will Putin think, Go ahead feller's it's only exercises, were doing the same thing on the Ukraine border. yeah right.

nice pics and all, and not to be difficult, but those don't really illustrate 40,000 troops.
(sort of reminds me of the portable gas makers or what ever..the weather baloon truck scam from Iraq)
Im sure their army is in a state of readiness somewhere in russia, but so is everybody's army ready somewhere.
