Here is how it will happen....

The President of Ukraine, Viktor Yanukovych, who is ethnic Russian from eastern Ukraine, will officially request Russian assistance in preventing a coup d'tat from overthrowing the legally elected government of Ukraine.

Claiming their 'assistance' is only temporary to prevent loss of life and to stop the violence, Russian troops will move in, backed by tanks and helicopters, first in the Crimea, which used to be Russian soil and where the Russian navy is based even today because of a treaty Yanukovych signed with Russia when he was first elected Pres of Ukraine, and then into eastern Ukraine which is heavily ethnic Russian populated.

The Russian troops will receive a heroes welcome from the ethnic Russians living in eastern Ukraine and the TV news will be filled with photographs and videos of those ethnic Russian Ukrainian citizens presenting flowers to their Russian protectors.

Seeing no response from the west other than a few strongly worded news releases, Russian troops will then move into Kiev and finally into western Ukraine. Western Ukraine has very few ethnic Russians being almost exclusively populated by ethnic Ukrainians and Poles.

All dissidents will be arrested and locked up and probably never heard from again.

The Russian assimilation of Ukraine back into a Russian province will be complete.

Kinda like when Chris Columbus showed up in America.

Russia has moved troops into the Ukraine. It is uncontested because they have established a presence in a pro-Russian region, but it doesn't change the fact that Russia has their military there at this point.

This is a definite case of sugar-coating, but not a completely outragous manner in which to frame the situation.

Okay I can see that...the wording just took me (and lots of other people) by surprise and made me lol.

If you think for a second you watch the video and see that the woman emphasized the word "uncontested." If you need me to explain why that is significant in the context of their discussion, you are not very smart. Watch the video. She is referring back to the word "arrival."

I am happy to hear you were sick.

You also miss the point, btw.
