While it seems obvious that if a region of your country is under invasion and occupation from a foreign power you should mobilize your army to defend it. However, full mobilization in Ukraine is tantamount to a declaration of war. If Parliament obliges, Russian troops will undoubtedly move in to "protect the ethnic Russians" in Crimea.

Considering that Ukraine is stuck between (a) giving up the peninsula, and thus a valuable sea port, or (b) inviting Russia in with a full scale war, what, in your opinion, should be done?

Go to the U.N. and appeal to the international community, right?

They best bet for international help is to defend their country militarily. If they do nothing and Russia takes the Crimea without firing a shot then the world will stand idly by and watch.

I guess right about now Ukraine wishes they still had those nukes.

If the Ukraine mobilizes then Poland and Romania will as well. Despite being somewhat smaller armies all three participate in NATO's partnership for peace. Poland and Romania are even full NATO members. This is really starting to look similar to the 1st World War. And what do you know it is 2014 of all years.

I think the Ukraine is on it's own, I don't think anyone else will lift a finger to help them. I think it's all but over, It's a real shame.
