Putin can be many things but is not stupid enough to invade a NATO country. If you look closely, you see that its 'area of operations' are nations not in NATO, and making is best to not let some entering NATO. Of course, the idea that Russia any time now is going to invade a NATO country is one...

In that area, everybody invaded everybody at least one time, depending on the date. Germany invaded Poland, Russia invaded Poland, Poland invaded Russia, etc, etc. Not much different from other nations in Europe, after all. invading neighbors is a European game for centuries.

ATP please show data about Zapad 2017 been a nuclear exercise or is targetting Poland. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zapad_2017_exercise Apart from the idiotic polish ministry, that his. Something credible, like NATO.

None of these has the resources, people, or power that the old KGB has, not by a very wide margin.

Zapad 2017 is not about invading Poland. Russia already has enough crazies, don't need more. KGB doesn't exist for a long time, as been dissolved on 3 December 1991. What exists right now is the FSB.

Polish people and they obsession that Russia is going to invade then any time now...

Strange, you don't see the Tatar nation (oops, don't exist anymore, if any/ever) declare for Crimea. What you see right now, is the people that live in Crimea, to be happy to be part of Russia. Deal with that, if you can. Realpolitik is a bitch.

Russians like a strong type of regime. Is understandable, after the crap that the Yeltsin regime gives them. If they get a decent Western-like regime they could have changed, but alas, Yeltsin fucked that option. Mass graves? - many nations need to trade lightly on that topic - US, UK, Germany...

Tatars are by early 19xx less than 10% of Crimea, by late 19xx, even less. Get your numbers right. Please, don't play word games- I have already, a long time ago admitted that English is for me second or third rate language. People that are exiled from a nation have one thing in common - their...

What I believe is that all nations lie a lot. And no nations have friends, only interests. No nation is 'good', all are composed of the poor guys - us - and the fuckers in charge. Some are best at the propaganda game - aka selling the 'we are the good guys' than others. I'm a bit of a cynical -...

Who i'm i? A bored, old, portuguese, divorced, 'retired/ reformed' guy with too much free time.

Look, i understand many of you don't like me or the way i think. I have served my time - boring, is just after the 'cardinal revolution' of 74 in Portugal, so no 'active' time. After that, i graduated, and i have done 4 years of volunteer service all around the globe. Been 4 times sunder fire...

Tartars stopped been a relevant part of Crimea's population by late 18xx - way before Stalin. But that escaped your bias, I see. Again, most of the posters on this site failed at history but majored in ideology. Not surprisingly. I bet most are ex-soviet republics exiled to the US or US-related...

See? You show again that you know crap about history. Not surprising. Majority Ukrainian... right. Stalin do a lot of population movement, no doubt, but, that doesn't change some facts, that you want to ignore. Is useless to talk to someone that is ignorant, ideological ride, and frankly don't...

Unfortunately, several nations have what is called the Samson option - if I go down, everybody goes with me. Also knows, as - if it goes full nuke war, then sent nukes to every nation that have an industrial capability that matters in the aftermath. Of course, that is planning/doctrine - nobody...

Because in the '20s and '30s Russia gifted a lot of territory to Ukraine. And you proved again that the parts of history you don't like don't matter/don't exist for you. How convenient.

That shows how little you know of history. Please learn about the '20s and '30s. And Crimea, for your information, tried to exit Ukraine and return to Russia as soon as the fragmentation of the USSR occurs. But, everything that goes in a direction your political views don't accept, don't happen...

So? been from one nation and know is history is not the same. I know a lot of people from my nation that know nothing of it, if is older than the last 50' years.

Dude, try to learn a bit of history, and not only the parts one side write. In the end, you understand that all nations fuck with their neighbors if they think they can.

Poland, or more exactly, some polish politicians still think that they are a great power. And try to fuck with nations way stronger than them. And getting fucked because of that. Just learn a bit of polish story from 17xx to today. Poland is in no way an innocent victim on that. Today's Russia...
