"Will Russia invade the rest of Ukraine? That still seems likely. Having
taken Crimea and sawed it off the rest of Ukraine with the referendum on
Sunday, Russia is consolidating its gains, mobilizing its forces along
Ukraine's border, and through Gazprom building an economic case for invasion
of eastern Ukraine, where the bulk of the country's energy production lies.
The smear of the Maidan protesters and the instigation of riots and violence
in eastern Ukraine would be mere pretexts to sweep into Ukraine and either
turn it into a puppet state or, with assistance from Belarus, dismember it."
"You never let a serious crisis go to waste. And what I mean by that it's an
opportunity to do things you think you could not do before."
- Rahm Emanuel, former White House Chief Of Staff to Barack Obama 2009
