| UN rejects Russian annexation of Crimea | |
| 2014-03-28 | |
The non-binding resolution passed with a comfortable majority in the 193-member body, with 100 votes in favour and 11 votes against. More than 20 countries did not vote. Ukraine, which drafted the resolution, had urged the international community to back the text, hoping an overwhelming show of support would ward off further Russian intervention on its territory. "I am convinced that a strong vote today will help to deter further aggressive moves," acting Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andriy Deshchytsya told the assembly. "It sends an essential message that the international community will not allow what has happened in Crimea to set a precedent to further challenges to our rules," he added. Western diplomats wanted a strong majority vote to press home what they say is Russia's isolation, but there had been fears that a high number of countries would abstain. | |

| #2 * ION RUSSIA TODAY > OBAMA'S WORDS ON RUSSIA'S WEAKNESS ONLY EXPRESSES [not just US-specific "Panic" but also] "AGONY OF THE USA" - LEADING RUSSIAN SENATOR. Valentina Matviyenko, Chief of Russian State Duma's Upper Parliament, whom says THE US STILL REFUSES TO ACCEPT THAT THE WORLD IS NO LONGER UNIPOLAR, + THAT COLD WAR RIVAL, POST-SOVIET RUSSIA IS NOW A MAJOR OR GLOBAL ECONOMIC FORCE IN THE WORLD. |

| #1 As things stand, the Bammer has promised to boost NATO in the Baltics + Poland [Eastern Europe, wid Vlad doing the same on his side allegedly all around the Ukraine. IT COMES DOWN TO HOW BOTH SIDES WILL HANDLE UKRAINE PROPER. Again, iff NATO-EU allow Russia to control or domminate the CRimea per se, in return Putin may allow a "moderate", non-threatening level of NATO Conventional Forces to be based in the Ukraine per se + possibly elsewhere in Russia's former Soviet satellites. IMO Putin will not accept US-LED/ONLY MISSLE DEFENSE = GMD-TMD OR US-NATO NUCWEAPS IN THE UKRAINE PROPER UNLESS UNDER "JOINT" US-RUSSIAN CONTROL. Given the above, + Soon-to-be-Nuclear Muslim Nations + even Radical Islam's Hard Boyz, IMO the US-Allies cannot be too serious or harsh on Russia as per ECON SANCTIONS IRREGARDLESS OF ANY DIPLOAMTIC-MEDIA RHETORIC TO THE CONTRARY. A SEVERELY WEAK RUSSIA HELPS NO ONE BUT THE HARD BOYZ + JIHAD-IN-AMERIKA. The Anti-US OWG Globalists cannot afford to miscalculate unless they are ready-n-willing to de facto RISK THEIR OWN HEADS. The "GREAT GAME" TAKES NO PRISONERS NO MATTER WHOM OR WHAT, ETC. THEY ARE. |
