Obviously America isn't going to go to war with them, but when Putin orders his troops to start machine gunning Ukrainian protesters they will have to do something, even if it's only sanctions

And Russian army is a joke just so u know. If there will be an actual war (which there won't) the US would shit all over them

But

The once mighty Red Army is now a pale imitation of itself, a wheezing symbol of Russia’s deterioration. From a total of three million men under arms toward the end of the Cold War, the Russian armed forces have shrunk to one million. That would be good news were it now a better force. But except for some elite units, most Russian troops are poorly trained and demoralized draftees subjected to pitiless hazing and prone to alcoholism, suicide and corruption. Ninety percent of the males supposedly required to complete the two-year stint of military service evade the draft both legally and illegally. Service contracts signed in 2004 ranged from 17 percent of the recruiting goal in the Moscow region to 45 percent in the North Caucasus.22.

International Institute for Strategic Studies, Military Balance, 2005-2006 (Routledge, 2005), p. 151.

Less than a fifth of the kontraktniki (those who sign up for the money) re-enlist, complaining of paltry pay and primitive living conditions.33.

Nezavisimaya Gazeta, August 24, 2006.

The problem transcends raw numbers. In 2005 an astonishing 40 percent of draftees were declared unfit to serve on account of physical or mental disabilities. Russia’s weaponry is aging and falling behind qualitatively, and new equipment reaches the armed forces in insufficient numbers. Defense spending has risen 25 percent annually since 2004, but years of neglect ensure that it will be a long time before existing armaments are replaced and soldiers’ morale and quality of life improve. The upswing in hardware expenditure is also mitigated by the 8 percent average inflation rate in 2004–06 and the need to allocate a large chunk of these monies to attract better-qualified people (particularly if plans for a volunteer force are to pan out).

#Ukraine 's navy commander Berezovsky defects from Kiev, takes oath of office as new pro-Russian Crimea's commander

 

The newly appointed head of Ukraine's navy has sworn allegiance to the Crimea region, in the presence of its unrecognised pro-Russian leader.

 

Rear Admiral Denys Berezovsky was only made head of the navy on Saturday, as the government in Kiev reacted to the threat of Russian invasion.

 

Russia's troops have been consolidating their hold on Crimea, which is home to its Black Sea Fleet.

 

The US has warned Moscow may be ejected from the G8 for its actions.

 

US President Barack Obama called Russian troop deployments a "violation of Ukrainian sovereignty".

 

'Brink of disaster'

Ukraine has ordered a full military mobilisation in response to Russia's build-up of its forces on the Crimean peninsula. Prime Minister Arseniy Yatsenyuk has warned the country is "on the brink of disaster".

So in Ukraine is that what Russia intends to do too? Take Crimea and Russian speaking regions under its control, effectively dividing Ukraine in half?”

What next for both sides?

In Crimea, Ukrainian soldiers faced off with Russian soldiers surrounding their bases on Sunday while the Russian army was said to be digging trenches on the border with mainland Ukraine.

 

The UK has joined the US, France and Canada in suspending preparations for a summit of the G8 in Russia in June. Nato, of which Ukraine is not a member, is conducting emergency talks.

 

Admiral Berezovsky appeared in Sevastopol before cameras alongside Sergiy Aksyonov, the pro-Russian politician elected by Crimea's regional parliament as local prime minister.

 

Mr Aksyonov announced he had given orders to Ukrainian naval forces on the peninsula to disregard any orders from the "self-proclaimed" authorities in Kiev.

 

Sunday, he said, would go down in history as the birthday of the "navy of the autonomous republic of Crimea".

 

 

Admiral Yuri Ilyn: "I'm very sorry that Ukrainian soldiers and sailors are hostages of this situation"

The admiral then pledged to "strictly obey the orders of the supreme commander of the autonomous republic of Crimea" and "defend the lives and freedom" of Crimea's people.

 

Admiral Berezovsky was later sacked by interim Ukrainian Defence Minister Ihor Tenyukh and a treason case launched against him.

 

Ukraine's Ukrainska Pravda newspaper reports that the admiral was speaking before the "numerous cameras of predominantly Russian TV channels".

 

 

John Kerry: Russian troop movement is a "brazen act of aggression"

Earlier, Ukrainian naval officers found their headquarters in Sevastopol occupied by Russian troops and were unable to go to work.

 

Admiral Yuriy Ilyn, who was until recently commander of the Ukrainian navy and served briefly as head of Ukraine's armed forces under ousted President Viktor Yanukovych, told the BBC's Christian Fraser at the scene that the armed forces were "hostages of the situation".

 

Separately, Ukraine withdrew coast guard vessels from two ports in Crimea and moved them to other bases in the Black Sea and Sea of Azov on Sunday.

 

Several Ukrainian army bases were surrounded by Russian troops on Sunday but there were no reports of clashes despite the refusal of Ukrainian soldiers to open their gates.
