In FEBRUARY (and at that time I don't know of anyone else "predicting" this would happen) I said there were going to be serious "issues" in Crimea and the Ukraine
most people "poo poo'd" this, saying nothing would/could happen
and I said, as well, it was reminiscent of Germany's tactics and actions in the Sudetenland in 1938, which lead to the invasion of Poland the following year
I see others are now coming to similar conclusions
