The group in question is about 50 people in full russian navy getup.  Too many questions right now without answers.\r\n\r\nAre they actual russian navy?  Are they just people dressed up like it?  If so then where did they get half of the equipment?  Military equipment isn't exactly easy to come by. .  Well rather to say it's not cheap to come by; anything is easy to come by if you have money, but fifty fully armed people dressed as russian navy?  Someone is trying to start shit.  Are they russian soldiers awol?\r\n\r\nThe only thing that is for certain right now is that they're trying to start shit and they need to be stopped before shit hits the fan.","author":"38b55cdf63616403d7560600"},{"id":"53100c266368720bc1ba0000","topic_id":"5161dd617f123bd25900013d","body":"The Russian Navy maintains a base in Sevastopol in the Ukraine Crimea. It being there is part of the land deal they made to Ukraine where they ceded the Crimea to them: they get more land, but we still operate out of Sevestopol.\r\n\r\nIn so far as I heard the height of Russian activity is securing stuff around their Black Sea Fleet headquarters and flying a few jets close to the border. They want to threaten the current government into being more willing to accept continuing Russian hegemony.

World Economy is today's MAD and the least it'll do is lead to an isolationist Ukraine whose only defense is the diplomatic reputation of Russia. It'd really paint them in a bad way to perform such an obvious invasion, they'd need to find chemical weapons or some shit there.\r\n\r\nBut Ukraine's in Russia's sphere of Influence. It always has been. Or it's been a part of Russia in some way. Either as a province in the Empire of Russia or as an SSR in the Soviet Union or the Russian helmed Warsaw Pact.\r\n\r\nTo invade now would be
