I read that there is a massive build-up of troops in the border with the russian parts (in eastern Ukraine). I have to doubt Ukraine will act alone - they saw what happened with Georgia and the false US promises - so what exactly is going on there?
While I certainly don't like how Crimea got taken by Russia (regardless of the russian-speaking population there being massively pro-Russia anyway), I think that if there is a new war between Ukraine and Russia, this can well end Ukraine as an actual country.
Personally I mostly am interested due to Turkey having to take a side there. It is like having to take a side when either side (Russia, US) can kick you to death as retaliation. Maybe Gulen can bring about federal Turkey with Kurdistan and Byzantine.
