^^ OK, I can see your point.

Interesting new development. New S-400 air defence systems are on move! This means Russia is preparing for no less than direct US involvement. S-300 (which Russia has helluva lot more than S-400) would be perfectly capable of shooting down anything Ukraine or neighboring Eastern European countries can put in air.
They didn't bother rolling those things around even during Georgia.
Of course militaries prep for everything and this is good training if nothing else but still... that's not artillery and tanks anymore.
Meanwhile in New York, the UN security council is meeting over the Ukraine.
And:
9.48pm GMT
Presidents Putin and Obama have had a telephone conversation. Putin said that he reserved the right to defend Russian interests in Crimea and east Ukraine. Obama said he was concerned about any plans for Russian intervention in Ukraine.
Putin replied that he was concerned about “provocative criminal” actions by far rightists sanctioned by the Ukrainian authorities.
