Yushchenko Wins (again), Will Russians Move?

[Bartram]

Was looking at the election mess in the Ukraine. Looks as if things are not exactly going the way Putin/Russia would like. Could Russia re-ignite the cold war? Russia could move on the Ukraine right now and have the U.S. by the balls. What if Russia moved on the Ukraine right now; what would/could the U.S. do being dug in in Afganistan and Iraq? now clearly Russia doesn't have that much of a hard-on for keeping Ukraine under its control, i don't think, but who knows. it's interesting though that the Ukraine is the country, outside of mainland Russia, that controls most of the nukes of the former USSR.

The russians wont move and if they did there is nothing outside of diplomatic moves the US could do.

They might push inside for a split in the country. The people can be manipulated to support such an effort. The people wearing the orange have made moves to try to keep that from happening - they are well organized.
