What do I want for my birthday?

You are right. Do we agree this is unlikely to spiral though?

I'm in two minds, and although I might opine a fair bit, I'm rarely correct and make a lot of what I say up.

The risks run quite a wide range.
- There's the chance for civil war if Crimea want full independence and Kiev won't let go.
- What if Crimea vote to rejoin Russia and Kiev says no, Crimeans escalate and Russia steps in "to protect the civilians"?
- Russia decides that the EU / NATO are all talk, so roll into Crimea as they did Georgia. How do EU / NATO respond then? Are they going to keep allowing Russia to do this time after time?

Those are a few things off the top of my head, and all centered around the Crimea. Russia won't be happy if Ukraine as a whole turn back to the EU, but how they work to prevent that is another matter.

So, Suity, is this what counts as a requirements workshop?
