Other: America sticks it's nose where it doesn't belong, thus triggering the first MAJOR war of the new millenium.

To play devil's advocate: according to Budapest's Memorandum of 1994 Ukraine gave up its' nuclear stockpile (3rd largest in the world) inreturn for US and UK (and Russia) quaranteeing Ukraine's sovereignty and territorial integrity. You have military obligations in front of Ukraine :P

First, let's clear something up:  The United States is the biggest geopolitical player on the world stage; everything that happens on it is our business to some extent.  The idea that certain events are "too far away" or "don't concern us" was outmoded a hundred years ago, and the world has only gotten smaller since then.  If you don't think that the strategic and political doings of the second-biggest player have a direct impact on our national security, then you are breathtakingly shortsighted.  And let's not forget, our close allies in Europe get a big part of their energy from Russia -- piped through Ukraine.  Wars have been fought for less.  But I don't think that will happen in this case.  Russia will keep the Crimea, that's a foregone conclusion.  The only question now is whether they try to take the eastern provinces too, which have a lot of ethnic Russians.

Other: Let Ukraine stabilize from the revolution and then hold a new election. <- Russia could have at the least waited for this

Stability is not in Russia's interest.

Indeed it isn't. Putin is trying to relive the glory days of the Soviet Empire.

What? Of course it is! They see instability and invade to stabilize! :D

 

I'm throwing my support behind the legitimate government, who presumably is behind Russia's intervention.
