Ukraine preparing total withdrawal of troops from Crimea — Putins next targets may include Bulgaria, Lithuania and Estonia!!! Looks like those costs Obama threatened to Putin really hurt, huh? Ukraine is already preparing to pull their troops out of Crimea, and basically concede the territory to Russia. Ukraine is drawing up plans to withdraw its soldiers and their families from Crimea, the security and defence chief in Kiev says. Andriy Parubiy said they wanted to move them “quickly and efficiently” to mainland Ukraine. Earlier, pro-Russian forces seized two naval bases – including Ukraine navy’s headquarters – in Crimea. Checkmate, Hussein Obama! What are you going to do now, Barry? So where does Putin go next? Bulgaria, Lithuania, Estonia? If anyone is stupid enough to think that Putin will stop at Crimea, especially with spineless Jimmy Carter 2.0 in the White House, and the pu$$y Europeans, they are just kidding themselves. Russia’s bold incursion in its former territory of Crimea, based on its right to protect Russian-speakers, is a real game-changer, and its effects are rippling across the former Soviet territory. So far, Putin’s popularity has only gained from the Crimea incursion, as the majority of Russians believe Soviet leader Nikita Khrushchev’s 1954 handover of the peninsula to Ukraine was a mistake. Nervous former Soviet countries all have Russian-speaking citizens, and recall that the same justification was used in Georgia to take control of Abkhazia and South Ossetia. Bulgaria, Lithuania and Estonia may be next on the chessboard for Vladimir Putin to takeover. Crimea is his, neither the Americans our Europeans scared Putin to leave Crimea alone...even after Obama slapped some meaningless sanctions on some Russian oligarchs... So why should he stop there? Bulgaria, Lithuania and Estonia all have sizable Russian populations, and Putin can use the same excuse to annex them as he did Crimea. Lithuanian president Dalia Grybauskaite warned him Vladimir Putin’s annexing of Crimea showed the use of brute force to redraw the map of Europe, adding: This situation is a direct threat to our regional security. The somber mood was reflected by Bulgarian president, Rosen Plevneliev, who said in London: What about Lithuania? What about Estonia? We do have Russian communities and minorities there. Is it possible in the 21st Century that they can call Moscow – and Moscow will send troops and occupy and annex some part of their territory? This came amid reports of FSB secret services agents flooding into Transdniestria, a breakaway pro-Moscow region of ex-Soviet state Moldova which shares a border with Ukraine. In recent days the leadership of the region – where Russian troops are believed to be on the ground – has signaled their wish to be integrated into Russia, like Crimea. Even Putin’s close allies are spooked by the actions of Russia’s politicians, as well as its troops on the ground. Countries as Moscow-friendly as Kazakhstan, Belarus and Armenia — future members or candidates for Putin’s Eurasian Union — were worried enough to express unusual concern.
