Looks like they captured most of the Ukranian Navy. Trapping a Navy by sink a few ships tells me they weren't in the best location.In its invasion and annexation of Crimea, Russia has seized 51 vessels belonging to the Ukrainian navy, according to information compiled by Dmitry Tymchuk, director of the Center of Military and Political Research in Kyiv.
Among the Ukrainian vessels reportedly captured by the Russians are submarine Zaporizhia, management ship Slavutych, landing ship Konstantin Olshansky, landing ship Kirovohrad, minesweeper Chernihiv and minesweeper Cherkasy.
The Cherkasy was the last of the ships to have been overtaken following weeks of threats and ultimatums to surrender. It was finally chased down and overtaken by the Russian navy on March 25 after failing to slip past a blockade of two ships intentionally sunk by the Russians to trap it and other vessels in a narrow gulf, keeping them from escaping into the Black Sea.
As of March 26, just 10 Ukrainian vessels remained in its navy's possession, including frigate Hetman Sahaydachniy, gunboat Skadovsk, intelligence ship Pereyaslav and diving vessel Netishin.
Putin is playing the Hitler playbook. And the US is too chicken**** to stop him.
You should see a doctor about those hallucinations.What a bunch of bullcrap. Obama got caught with his hand in the cookie jar (Ukraine) and Russia was forced to protect its' interests and people. The USA should be tried in th eUN for coercion, insurrection, and creating instability in Ukraine. The USA Media won't admit it, but shootings in Kiev were by the opposition, not Yanukovych.

He will have to be stopped at some point. Now? Or when he is too powerful?We can only hope we stay that way.
In complete truth. Putin was clever enough to capture the Fleet without firing a shot. He scuttled two Russian vessels to block the access channels and it appears to have been a complete success. No casualties. No snipers. No firebombs. No blood. Could Putin be the "good guy" in this embroglio? I think he is.

I don't see how violating Ukraine's sovereignty and invading it makes Putin the good guy, he would be the good guy if he let Ukraine join the EU and choose it's own path.
Let's wait until he's not playing in his own backyard.

:doh ..... Maggie, are you aware of the history of that phrase?
And Putin knows it. He has a free hand to expand Russian interests any time any where now.He, (Putin) probably plans on swallowing up the Ukraine either in whole, or in bits and pieces, and turning it into Russia. He's acting like Russia will be the bully in the area.
Not much the USA can do about it, unless Americans want to send father, sons, mother and daughters off to another war we cannot afford. I have to believe most Americans are tired of wars by now.

The USA violated Ukraine sovereignty by spending $5 billion to train and support an insurgency to get their man (Yats, Victoria Nuland conversation) installed as leader to get him to move Ukraine under the EU/NATO umbrella. Explain to me how the USA found three (3) Billionaires to be the new leaders instead of three "heroes of the Revolution." These three were operating out of the US Embassy in Kiev during the protests. Stop reading the US Mainstream News and watching the boob tube and try reading some foreign news stories about Ukraine on the Internet.
Well, everyone who claimed this wasn't a military conquest of Ukraine was just proven wrong. But they will just change their mantra to fit the situation.
Countries better start building nuclear weapons and FAST. Biological weapons, chemical weapons and dirty bombs in the interim. Its every country for itself now.
Of course you do. He's a racial segregationist as are your messages. Putin is your great white hope to save the white race's genetic purity and all that crap.
You make no secret of your hatred of the United States because of racial desegregation. Your malcontent messages are becoming boring.
