The Russian media found a doctor named Olga? What are the chances?.
She is the real known person in Ukraine. During of forming of the new Ukrainian cabinet council she was offered the minister of public health post, but she refused it (for some reason).

Obama and Kerry could have the biggest, brassiest balls in the political halls, and it wouldn't change the fact that Crimea is Russia's turf. Nothing short of all-out war could change that ....... except that sanctions and world condemnation might have some effect.
No one on the left or the right wants to risk mutual destruction, even though as the OP said Democrats AND Republicans are quick to jump on thirdworld countries without strong allies. Yes, the military industrial complex funnels lots of money to BOTH parties, both are reliant on that. There are differences between the two parties, but not usually about matters that can enhance both of their campaign coffers.
People. The constitutional, legal government of autonomous Crimea wants to hold a referendum if it's population wants to stay with Ukraine or join Russia and all of a sudden this becomes aggression and a reason for sanctions? Does anybody here even understand the situation there? Crimea up to the 60's was Russian and has a majority Russian population. Ukrainians just declared Ukrainian the official language of Ukraine meaning the Crimean Russians have to learn a foreign language to fully participate and will always be considered second class citizens of Ukraine. What would you say if you were in their shoes?
What's wrong with you people? Leave this issue to the parties involved. There is no Russian invasion, it's all about the right of Crimean Russians to self-determination!

Of course, it's extra-delicious for the Putin knob-polishing brigade that it's out of Estonia, because Russia really did not like the fact that Estonia left, after all they had done for them. Well, OK - to them.
Oh, but then so was the idea that the government forces were doing shooting. What is your hard evidence?
I think you dream about torturing puppies. Unless you produce hard evidence against it, I will just default to that. I don't need to produce hard evidence, only you do. I will notify my friends at PETA who will apply sanctions on your puppy chow.

Anyway, I'm clearly arguing with conspiracy theorists here. Have fun looking for thermite on the grassy knoll.
Oh right, now that you have been obliterated, its time to take the high ground with insulting your opponents as kooks.
