Things are heating up.

"The Russian military has given Ukrainian forces in Crimea until 03:00 GMT to surrender or face an assault, Ukrainian defence sources have said.

The head of Russia's Black Sea Fleet Aleksander Vitko set the deadline and threatened an attack "across Crimea".

Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov earlier said Russia was responding to "ultra-nationalist threats".

Western powers have condemned Moscow's decision to send troops as a "violation of Ukraine's sovereignty".

Russia is now said to be in de facto control of the Crimea region.

Ukraine has ordered full mobilisation to counter the intervention.

No shots have yet been fired in the region, which has a majority of Russian speakers and a largely pro-Russian local government.

The trouble began last month when pro-Russian President Viktor Yanukovych was ousted following months of street protests.

Russia claims its military is protecting human rights in Crimea, but Kiev, the US and Western Europe have condemned the actions."

Is all this really nessascary though, that's the question.
Well the president was allowing civilians to be gunned down in the street, this would naturally include Russian civilians that live there. But it is a blatant breach of Ukraine's sovereignity over their own land, plus the man in power has been ousted.

Coincidentally the area taken has a massive oil pile flowing through it...

Because they're homosexuals? I can never understand why people care so much about what gender someone is having *** with
It's just people with a stone-age way of thinking man, what people do behind closed doors, as long as it's adults that are consenting, no one has any right to stick their nose in. I imagine it's much worse in Asia and the Middle East.
