GK...What we are seeing now is Russia 'protecting her ethnic Russians in her former 'spheres'. It's begun in the Crimea, eastern and southern Ukraine and last but not least the Baltics. Can you actually see what is occurring? As we see here, some do not need a weatherman to know which way the wind blows.
So...
-Estonia believes Russia is ready to move not only into the Crimea but into eastern Ukraine. They probably can see how Russia has paved the way with pro-Russians doing 'activities' to give 'protection'.
-They noted Russia has 'suspended' food imports at the port of Klaiepeda. But it looks like they know that could happen. They know Russia is 'unpredictable'.
`Lithuiania believes it will have to fire shots 'if someone tries to occupy us'.
-All in all the Baltic states agree that their integration with Europe is fraught with danger. So its conceivable that what we are seeing in the Crimea is perhaps the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the destabilization of that whole area up and down along the Russian border. NATO will be busy...for sure and on alert. Thank you Vladimir!
I think you're right! If nationalists will continue to infinity limit, the Russian army may take eastern Ukraine. But do not think that it could threaten the Baltic countries. Will be no war. In Russia it is not needed anyone.
Former Assistant Secretary of the Treasury Paul Craig Roberts told the TV channel RT, which Washington has long preparing Americans for war to rule the world. But the absolute influence of the U.S. three states interfere with their interests. This is Russia, Iran and China.journalist Michael Hughes criticized all those who support the new Kiev authorities. Video can be found in YouTube.
U.S. Representative Ron Paul. On his website, he sharply criticized President Obama's foreign policy and calls to leave Ukraine alone.
I see no similarities between these countries and the Eastern part of the country in question (especially the peninsula).
These countries have absolutely different history. I'm glad that they are independent. It was their decision and I respect it.
People in the peninsula are different, I believe.
One may like or dislike the idea to "return" the peninsula, but Baltic states and this land are absolutely different stories. Absolutely! How anyone can compare them, I don't understand.

Only Russia maybe China. All the rest are puppets of the U.S.
In any case, it does not matter.
Russia obviously for. China maybe yes or maybe abstain (It does not want taiwan to have one...but I also think the Chinese leaders worry too much. When you have power, whatever you say is what matters...who cares about consistency. The US has never been consistent in any of its policies). The rest is pretty easy. They either do what the US orders them to do, or are too puny to matter.

Most likely it will 13 Yes votes and one No vote (Russia). Russia will be isolated.
I think China will abstain but there is a very small chance she may vote Yes.
Already voted.
13 countries - for that that a referendum the illegal, 1 country - refrained (China).
and 1 country, Russia, vetoed the resolution.
Again I am surprised to rules of the international organizations.
How it is possible to make decisions only unanimously? It is nonsense.
And still the bigger nonsense - when participates in vote Russia (the only country which is interested in a referendum)...
It is a ridiculous order of things...
If 14 countries against war, and one country supports war (because it began it), the resolution isn't accepted...
International nonsense.
