Nah, cuts off their income.

they'd just crank the price up...

I reckon they'll turn the gas tap off just to bring Ukraine to heel!!

Yup, and Russia is only really interested in protecting it's ports it has on lease in the Crimean peninsular. Ukraine itself, well, it produces more food than it can consume as a nation, but that's about it. Russia won't cut off its nose to spite its face, Putin is too smart for that. Yes, it would be a good strategic stronghold (why do you think the west incited this "Pro-European" uprising(?) in the first place?) but it's not worth starting a war over, cold or otherwise...

you can never tell with the Russians-anything is possible, their liable to start a war just cos they dont want to be seen as backing down.
oh well, nothing I can do if it kicks off anyway, I just hope the west can stay out of it-for once.

Yup, fingers crossed Team America World Police stay at home. I don't see they have much option really. There was that treaty signed by UK, USA, Ukraine and someone else that agreed to protect the sovereignty of Ukraine in face of an invasion (1994??) But I've heard nothing about it since it's initial mention in the news.

This has buried the bitcoin stories, but this isn't the forum to go off on that tangent tonight...
