It is, Paul Craig Roberts has a very chilling view of the danger here, it's called nuclear war. So far imo there has been a very measured, calm and restrained takeover of Crimea by Russian forces. No abuses or terror, basically not a shot fired.
The question is: are the bansters & Western warmongers going to take this further? After staging a coup in Kiev against a democratic govt, will the plot go something like this...
Bankster to Kiev fascists: here's the deal...you fire an Ak-47 at Russian forces, we give you $5 million, rpg $25 million, mortars $50 million, missiles $100 million, tanks $250 million, artillery $500 million, warplanes $1 billion, nuke $100 billion... In gold!
