Pentagon officials have today confirmed that Russia has begun air-defense drills on a large scale. “It is for the first time that all air defense units from the district, including coastal defenses of the Northern Fleet, have gathered in one place. It is the largest-ever exercise held by air defense units of the Western Military District.” said district spokesman Col. Oleg Kochetkov. About 3,500 troops and 1,000 units of military hardware will be kept about 280 miles east of the Ukranian border in Kapustin Yar. The exercise, which will include live-firing drills and deployment of air defense systems, is meant to encourage Crimea to be annexed into Russia.

I don't want to be one of those idiots who claim "WWIII is upon us!" (Believe me, many already have) but this will most definitely culminate into some sort of war. Some of the circumstances are already similar: a dictator trying to move into neighboring countries and take over, other nations having a say about this behavior but not much beyond that. Whatever Putin is planning, he must be stopped. He's practically inviting war.
