#1 See also VOICE OF RUSSIA > BRZEZINSKI URGES OBAMA TO DELIVER WEAPONS TO UKRAINE.

"ZIGGY" enters the fray.

and

* BIGNEWSNETWORK > US COULD REACT IMMEDIATELY IFF RUSSIA INVADED UKRAINE, SAYS AMERICAN AMBASSADOR.

* VOICE OF RUSSIA > NATO SHIPS ARRIVE IN LITHUANIA, LATVIAN PM WANTS US TROOPS PERMAMNETLY BASED IN HIS COUNTRY.

ROMANIA wants the USN to base, deploy Warships in the Black sea.

versus

* TOPIX > [CNN.com] OBAMA A "LAME DUCK" FOR 33 MONTHS?

Iff true, 'TIS JUST GOOD ANTI-US [US?]
"GLOBALISM"???

* WORLD NEWS > [RIA] CHOMSKY: US SHOULD BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR GITMO [Guantanamo Bay, Cuba] ANNEXATION, back in 1903.

US + Gitmo 1903 [Caribbean, Panama Canal security] = Putin-Russia + Crimea 2014 [Black Sea, Bosphorus Straits security].

MEXICO + LATIN AMERICA = TURKEY + IRAN???

#2 If Brezinzki has jumped in, is that de-facto evidence that we are on the wrong side?

#3 * GROONG > [ICH.com] KERRY WARNS OF "HOT CONFRONTATION" [possibly NUCLEAR] BY US AGZ RUSSIA, even iff Russian troops do or do NOT invade Ukraine.

* SAME > [Iragir.com] MOSCOW WILL BE A FRONT-LINE CITY.

ARTIC = Ex-Cold War Superpower Russia may have to face increasingly potent Asian, Islamic
interests, either separately or in joint, while an isolated + marginal nation.

Yuuup.

THE ABOVE IS YET ANOTHER ARTIC IN SUPPORT OFN WHY I SAY THE US-ALLIES = WEST SHOULD NOT + CANNOT BE TOO HARSH AGZ PUTIN + RUSSIA OVER THE CRIMEA.

The US-West will not only be empowering or inspiring NUCLEAR ISLAM, but NUCLEAR ISLAMIC RADICALISM + NUKE-LED UNILATERAL ISLAMIC MILPOL'GEOPOL AGGRESSIONISM OVER-N-BEYOND WHAT "MODERATE" OR EXTERMIST ANTI-US OWG GLOBALISTS CAN CONTROL.

THE ENTIRE JUDEOCHRISTIAN WORLD WILL BE AT EXISTENTIAL RISK OF DE FACTO ANNIHILATION.

#7 BTW, for someone who has no use for the 'rule of law' in the unending pursuit of power, how hard is it to grasp that such rituals have no effect on someone else so inclined? If one was so Byzantine in mind, one might suppose that this is just Kabuki theater for the masses and the BO-Putin 'more maneuver room' program is to reestablish the old lines of territorial demarcation between autocrats. How did that old MolotovRibbentrop Pact work out for everyone?

#10 The Champ could give a damn 'on a good day' about a bunch of Russians, let alone at a time when his entire presidency is crumbling.

#11 The rule of law only works when the participants are willing to let the laws rule. Putin is not such a person. Neither is Obama, although in a difference, more craven fashion.

Pretty much, that's what I think's going on.
