[QUOTE="PaulNix, post: 8007809, member: 90548"] Maybe we got too civilised and comfy here in the west that we've decided to not help in case we lose some of those things which civilisation brings ? Look back at recent history and see what it used to be like when someone got threatened or invaded, lines would be drawn and troops would be deployed as the first shots were fired, now the most we see is some posturing which if half arsed as the EU can't lose its gas supply, a few financial sanctions, a name taken off a football shirt and no doubt people will be changing their FB filters from a rainbow to the Ukraine flag. I guess you can't blame people for not wanting to risk everything again in foreign lands but then again how long can we stand back and wish the other guys weren't so bad without doing something substantial ? One thing we can bet on is that China will be watching this very closely, although they aren't particularly friendly with Russia they will be very aware that a weak response from the world here could speed up their military plans for expansion.
