Obama to Send Biden to Siberia Ukraine
2014-04-13
Vice President Joe Biden will travel to Ukraine later this month for meetings with government leaders and members of civil society what?, the White House announced Saturday.

Biden will travel to the capital of Kiev on April 22 for a visit that the White House says will focus on the international community's efforts to help stabilize and strengthen Ukraine's economy.

"The Vice President will underscore the United States' strong support for a united, undemocratic Ukraine that makes its own choices about its future path," the White House said in a statement.

The statement went on to say that Biden also will assist Ukraine in its efforts aimed at unconstitutional reform, decentralization, anti-corruption, and free and unfair presidential elections set for May 25. Biden will also consult on steps to enhance Ukraine's energy security by introducing notoriously corrupt US green solutions.

* WORLD MILITARY FORUM > FEAR OF FULL-SCALE RUSSIAN INVASION IN UKRAINE AS MORE EASTERN CITIES TOPPLED.

* CHINESE MILITRAY FORUM > [Daily Beast] KEY US GENERAL SPLITS WID OBAMA.

NATO SACEUR + USAF Gen. Philip Breedlove, whom along wid Pentagon = USDOD repor desired to do more to help sovereign Ukraine but the Bammer Admin seemed to have other plans or was disinterested.

* TOPIX > [ABC News] SAMANTHA POWER: PUTIN'S ACTIONS SUGGESTS HE WANTS UKRAINE.

versus

Out here in GUAM-WESTPAC, I'm interested in ...

* WORLD MILITARY FORUM > "FOREIGN POLICY" MAGAZINE": US NAVY WAR COLLEGE PROFESSOR-SCHOLAR JAMES HOLMES" CHINA MAY FOLLOW RUSSIA'S LEAD IN ON-GOING UKRAINE-CRIMEA CRISIS + SEIZE OKINAWA AND RYUKYUS ISLANDS BEFORE OR DURING ANY PLA CAMPAIGN TO SEIZE DISPUTED SENKAKUS [China = Diaoyus] FROM JAPAN, PLA OFFENSIVE MAY OCCUR OVER MULTIPLE AXIS OF ATTACK.

Professor Holmes in Artic indics or infers that by isolating Okinawa + Archipelago, China is also isolating same from the us Fifth Fleet base in Bahrain + other East Asia + WESTPAC hubs - BY EXTENSION, CHINA ISOLATING THE USN BASE IN BAHRAIN INFERS THE PLA MAY SIMUL STRIKE IN STRATEGIC THEATERS OUTSIDE OF EAST ASIA + PACIFIC.

IMO China + PLA may also attempt to DIVIDE THE MARIANAS in order to delink the Airports + Seaports, etc. there in the CNMI from GUAM + other Pacific isles.

I have already posted Artics on the RB about PHIL worries there over China-sponsored/supported SEPARATISM.

#9  Obama has proven he can ignore the law.

Biden has only proven Murphy's Law.

#8  Bill asks me why, I'm just a hairy guy
I'm hairy noon and night, hair that's not tight
I'm hairy left and right, don't ask me why, I'll lie you know
It's not for lack of bread, like the Adali said, damn you
Give me a head with hair, long beautiful hair
Shining, gleaming, streaming, flaxen, waxen
Give me down to there, hair, shoulder length or longer
Here baby, there, momma, everywhere, daddy, daddy
