Russia is now more likely to invade eastern Ukraine according to a U.S. ‘classified intelligence assessment.’ Did we really need all that tax payer waste for the obvious? Putin isn’t going to stop with Crimea. When you have a pansy United States with Hussein Obama as King, and even bigger wimps in Europe, WTF else is Putin going to do? Republican war mongers want to send Ukraine more money, more weapons and more aid. Why? So they can take them then yell F*ck America? Let the Europeans give Ukraine aid, we’ve done enough. If you want to teach Putin a lesson, you impose strong economic sanctions on him. Vladimir Putin isn’t crazy enough to start World War III over Ukraine territory. Right now Putin is just interest in humiliating the United States and Obama is more than willing to help. Move over Arab Spring, we have Springtime in Russia!

A new classified intelligence assessment concludes it is more likely than previously thought that Russian forces will enter eastern Ukraine, CNN has learned.
Two administration officials described the assessment but declined to be identified due to the sensitive nature of the information.
The officials emphasized that nothing is certain, but there have been several worrying signs in the past three to four days.
“This has shifted our thinking that the likelihood of a further Russian incursion is more probable than it was previously thought to be,” one official said.
The buildup is seen to be reminiscent of Moscow’s military moves before it went into Chechnya and Georgia in both numbers of units and their capabilities.
U.S. military and intelligence officials have briefed Congress on the assessment.
As a result, Republican members of the House Armed Services Committee late Wednesday sent a classified letter to the White House expressing concern about unfolding developments.
