    There are 2 aspects to this war:
    (a) territorial and to date the Ukraine has lost
    Here's the evidence:

    (source BBC Feb 2014)

    (b) Economic Sanctions by the West on Russia.
    That's not working either (NB both UK & Germany in Recession)
    And again here's the proof:

    Russia's GDP:

    I'm keenly that both Andy and tangs will accuse me of being pro-Russia
    by simply stating the status quo, but of course that's what propagandists do;
    ...when they can't refute the message, they in true style personally attack
    the poster.

    IMO, to be neutral means that one has to see this war from both points of view
    and where possible try to ascertain what is factual and what is propaganda.

    As an Aussie, my chief concern is that this war escalates into a Russia vs NATO
    war and with it the real risk of going Nuclear. In the interim I would not wish this war
    to negatively impact out China trade because without we'd be virtually bankrupt
    and no doubt Uncle Sam Inc would be in like Flynn scooping up the remainder
    of our assets at firesale prices.
