#1 It should be noted that Crimea has a rather large volunteer contingent and that these vehicles could be intended for them.

Also to be noted, that the Pacific Russian naval infantry contingent in Primorasky just received the latest iteration of the BMP-3 IFV.

It is apparent Russian defense factories continually are delivering new combat vehicles, and they are being delivered by rail.

Well, the problem is the Russians are so terrified of the world they feel they need to be surrounded by hostages friendly powers or they feel "threatened".

(Plus, they seeded all their subject territories with ethnic Russians during the Soviet period, nicely setting themselves up with Sudetenlands to "liberate" when they feel strong enough.)

#6 Poland: sure, worth defending.
But why do we care about Ukraine? It's half-Russian and has been for over a century. Why do we care about Crimea? What possible business is it of ours?

If your country had been invaded once every 60 years or so, you'd be paranoid, too.

#10 But why do we care about Ukraine?

You (USA) don't. But Chinese, who appear to give your rulers their orders, care deeply about weakening Russia. All that real estate in Russian Far East.

#13  Liberating Ukraine from these crazies would probably enable real democracy by finally having a real election that includes the Donbass.

Not if it’s held at the point of a Russian gun, sweetie.
