#1 Be a shame when 6 of the G8 suddenly get their oil shut off.

#2 Threatened a boycott? ROFL. How's about we start to play like big kids and have the summit without Russia. I would also propose bringing Russia's UN seat on the SC into question, start talking about the Kuril's, move immeadiatly to offer the exisitng Ukranian Government as well as Georgia and Armenia official NATO pathways, propose a trans-Atlantic bailout (only 15 billion, please), start chugging some support ships toward the Black Sea, openly discourage Russia's new basing and port rights for Rights and sink the F@#$%$#@ ship sitting in Cuba right now! That's day one.

#3 Boot them out now. Let them know actions have consequences. And we have plenty of NatGas here, enough to export to Europe. if the government and enviros would just get the hell out of the way of production, this would knock the wheels off Putins money wagon.

and

* RELATED DEFENCE.PK/FORUMS > WILL GO TO THE HILT AGZ RUSSIA OVER UKRAINE, US SAYS - TIMES OF INDIA.

VERSUS

* CHINESE MILITARY FORUM > THERE IS A COST TO PAY FOR THE INVASION OF UKRAINE, SAYS OBAMA, BUT THE BEAR [Russia = Putin] IGNORES IT | [Marc Alexander] PUTIN'S WAR, NOT OBAMA'S.

* FREEREPUBLIC > [BreitBart] FIVE REASONS PUTIN THINKS HE CAN OUTPLAY OBAMA.

FREEP Blogger says or argues ...
1. Because he [Putin] can.
2. Because he can.
3. Because he can.
4. Because he can.
5. Because he can.

* TOPIX > WHY DID RUSSIA INVADE UKRAINE? BECAUSE THE WEST [read, USA = Obama] IS WEAK.

Thus once again proving that the OWG Globies are playing or walking a very dangerous geopol tripwire that could poten threaten the very existence of the US-West as we know it, or as they the Globies hoped it would be.

To paraph an old adage, THE BEST LAID PLANS OF MAN + GOVTS-DIPLOMATS, WAR + POLITICS, MUST FIRST SURVIVE THE FIRST DEADLY BULLET(S) BEING FIRED AT SAME.

* SAME > [Christian Science Monitor] IS UKRAINE CRISIS PROOF THAT OBAMA'S "LEAD FROM BEHIND" POLICY HAS FAILED?

* SAME > [Rediff] UKRAINE [Crisis] IMPERILS OBAMA'S FOREIGN POLICY LEGACY.

Yeah-h-h right-t-t, Rising China hasn't even fired a shot yet over in East Asia + Pacific.

HOWEVER BAD THE UKRAINE CRISIS MAY GET, IT CAN BE WORSE FOR THE BAMMER + AMERIKA.
