"RUSSIAN TROOPS MASS AT BORDER IN UKRAINE RIFT."-New York Times.

Yeah, all caps. The Grey Lady doesn't do that often. Pretty ominous headline, all things considered. And it is being taken ominously. Chancellor Merkel, in the past measured when it comes to Russia said this:

“Ladies and gentlemen, if Russia continues on its course of the past weeks, it will not only be a catastrophe for Ukraine,” she said in a speech to the German Parliament. “We, also as neighbors of Russia, would not only see it as a threat. And it would not only change the European Union’s relationship with Russia. No, this would also cause massive damage to Russia, economically and politically.”

Ukraine has not yet died. Putin, we hardly knew ye. 

God bless the people of Ukraine.
