They didn't win Georgia, what makes you think they will be able to conquer Ukraine, a much larger country? At best for Russia, they'll manage to turn Ukraine into another Syria. But they'll never conquer it.
The question is, what are Russians going to do with a Syria-like Ukraine? This whole action seems rather pointless and like a very emotional decision, rather than a rational one.
- huhtenberg 13y ago> They didn't win Georgia Hahaha... so cute. Your TV simply forgot to tell you that Georgian president was replaced shortly after that farce of a war and Georgia is now again Russia's best friend and ally. They won big time. They will do the same in Ukraine, just give it time.
- GoodIntentions 13y agoI don't think they want all of Ukraine, just the Crimean peninsula. Socially and geographically, this is a different situation than Georgia, where ethic Russians are a small minority and the borders are large as opposed to a relatively small choke point on the peninsula. I think they will pull this off unless massive international pressure comes to bear on Russia AND they decide give a damn about how the world feels.
