    Sounds like someone called someone's bluff.

    No, it's a firefight.
    The ramming was earlier today.

    Unfinished business between these two that's going to come a violent head sooner or later. Don't envy the Ukrainians as they don't stand a chance on their own and the West won't go to war on their behalf either.

    The Russians have blocked off the Kerch Strait by parking a large cargo ship under the Crimea bridge.

    This is an unlawful blockade. Things could get messy here unfortunately.

    Ukraine could have joined NATO in 2010 but their president pulled out. Bet they wish they hadn't done that now.

    Expect nothing to happen not with trump working for Putin ,
    They have forces in the area ,but expect Putin to demand an emergency UN security council meeting demanding an investigation into crimes against russia , meanwhile russians forces grab more land under the guise of protecting poor russians from the big bad Ukrainians

    This could get very messy very fast.

    Nothing else the Russians have done in Ukraine got messy fast, that includes the shooting down of a passenger plane. This seems more of the same.

    Does this mean there is actually a "Crimea River"?
