So if a group of well-armed thugs show up at your house and give you an ultimatum to get out, you'd just hand them the keys and leave?

Okay, got it!

If this turns into an all out war, Russia won't just be fighting the military esp once it invades Ukrainian cities.

Your wife and kids aren't in the house. Just you and a bunch of your armed buddies.

I read that it was 0300 Crimea local time (EET/GMT +2 Hours).

ETA: I also see articles that say 0500 local time, which would be 0300 GMT. Not sure which is accurate.

so...my 400 against their 10? yep...i'd fight.

however, this can't be the same comparison as Ukraine to Russia respectively.

I would think that Russia has "400" to ukrain's 10, no?

So 5 AM Crimea time? Really good time to start an assault. Get all you troops positioned under the cover of darkness. Attack at dawn. Consolidate in daylight.

Approx 840K ground troops versus about 120K on their home turf.

If fighting starts, I do think the US and other European allies will lend support.

Russia will not deploy 840K into the region.

I think Ukraine still has enough of an advantage to get Russia out of Crimea. Their only chance is to kick Russia out now and secure the peninsula before Russia can mass it's forces, thereby forcing Russia to launch a true invasion if they really want it.
