Text-book operation up to now... well it would have been in the 1950s or 1960s anyway. If Putin wants to annexe Crimea then he should be careful what he wishes for as should the ethnic Russian Ukrainians on team Ruskii. This is potentially anoter proverbial crap sandwich of similar magnitude to Chechnya and he's not going to be able to get away with the type of cultural vandalism and oppression meted out by Stalin to assert authority and weed out any potential opposition.

Putin needs to concentrate on watching his own back at home rather than what's happening beyond his borders.
