| #4 Please also keep in mind that Mama Russia = Putin has strategic interests in being able to deploy military forces rapidly to the various regions = sovereign nations surrounding the Black Sea. > Ukraine's historical importance to Russia, Germany, + East Europe as an agricultural Breadbasket [read, FOOD]. > Rising Iran , + Iran-desired Pan-Iranian Union. > NATO Ally + Russian trading partner Turkey under intense internal pressure from Radical Islam, + Turkey-desired Pan-Turkic Union. > End run to the militant-troubled Caucasus agz Count Dooku's Hard/Bad Boyz. > Eastern Europe. > Mediterraean naval, trade access vee Dardanelles. Lest we fergit, RISING IRAN = AKA GLOBALIST-DESIRED OWG GLOBAL CO-SUPERPOWER IRAN. DITTO AS PER RISING CHINA - Mama Russia is also well-aware of Rising China's nuclear security pact wid Ukraine - despite any rhetroici ot the contray, Russia does NOT want any potent Chinese presence or influence anywhere near its sphere or periphery. * FYI CHINESE MILITARY FORUM > [Daily Beast] US SPIES SAY RUSSIA WON'T INVADE UKRAINE. Russia's forces in Crimea at this time lack the proper level of forces support e.g. not enough combat medics + field resupply. |

| #3 > Russian Officios are denying the ultimatum. > Even iff true, many Ukrainian forces are warning that they will not surrender their arms per the ultimatum, + that they will militarily resist. IMO, given the fragile state of the Russian economy, IMO its not in Putin's interest to formally annex the Crimea - He = Russia is better off converting the Crimea into Russia's version of Cuba's "GITMO" on the Black Sea, where Russia can stay indefinitely at its discretion in PCorrect treaty "leasehold" + Russia-n-only-Russia has sole authority over the region or enclave. IMO again, the larger story here is really Obama's poten weakness as US POTUS, World + Western #1 Leader being displayed openly by Putin before the World. |

| #2 Not a prediction, just a possible response, hot launch as soon as the Russians light up their targeting radars |

| #1 And this is possibly how the shooting begins. At 0259, the ukranian navy should open up with everything it has aimed at the Russian warships, then abandon ship |
