16. There were no Russian forces in Crimea.

Denied, denied, denied. Then praised for the role they'd played all along. "No, no, no, no, no, no ... Yes!"

It's like the Vicar of Dibley--the one guy who'd routinely say, 'No, no, no, no, no ... Yes!" It was funny on the Vicar of Dibley. (Then again, Dawn French and what she's involved in is typically funny. I note that Dawn French isn't a prominent politician in Russia, however much more attractive she is with her naturally petite figure than Putin is.)

Same guys, same uniforms, same equipment this time around. Polite little green men.

With the difference that there are Gruz 200 vans crossing the border. To Russia. And lots of convoys crossing the other way. Some with caterpillar treads.

But still ...

"No, no, no, no, no, no ..."

The scene hasn't finished being shot yet.
