"The question is, just how far is Vladimir Putin willing to go with this
adventure? If Putin is satisfied with securing the Crimea, it is likely that
Ukraine will make a stink at the UN, but won't go to war to save the
region."
"All bets are off, however, if Putin gins up another excuse about ethnic
Russian-speaking Ukrainians in the pro-Moscow eastern provinces being
mistreated and uses that pretext to slice off a large part of Ukraine. It is
doubtful that Kiev would stand by and meekly accept a Russian-imposed
partition of its country."
Now it shouldn't be any wonder why Poland, Hungary, Rumania, Bulgaria,
Slovakia, the Czech Republic and the Baltic states were in a hurry to become
full-fledged members of NATO.
