#1 The talks center over whether they should hold the 'ground component' in Turkey, or perhaps Egypt.

#2 Its becoming increasingly clear that, even iff NATO-EU won't admit it, they may tolerate Russian control or domination of the Black Sea region iff it means keeping the Hard Boyz out of Europe.

Darth Vlad may rant agz the US + NATO-EU, but his real focii is keeping a hard lid on the Hard Boyz.

* FYI MANILA TIMES > NATO UNCONCERNED ABOUT RUSSIAN WARSHIPS IN ENGLISH CHANNEL.

Unofrtunately, the UK Royal Navy is not what it used to be, + better for the Russians to be in the Channel [or simil GUAM-WESTPAC = Rising China], iff La Belle France is going to be under increasing domestic + foreign Hard Boy threat.

* GROONG > [ICH.com] WHY WE NEED A NEW SOVIET UNION?

* SAME > EURASIAN ECONOMIC UNION TO BOOST TIES WID SOUTH AMERICA'S LARGEST TRADING BLOC [Mercusor Bloc].

--------------

Speaking of CHINA ... ...

* WORLD MILITARY FORUM > JANE'S DEFENCE WEEKLY: CHINA'S NEW DONGFONG-41 ROAD-MOBILE ICBMS AND JL-2 SLBMS TO DEPLOY IN EARLY 2015. CHINESE LR NUCLEAR STRIKES AGZ CONUS + US TERRITORIES FROM SAFETY OF JAPANESE OR EAST ASIAN WATERS. US ABILITY TO DETER CHINESE NUCLEAR STRIKES AGZ JAPAN, ALASKA, + HAWAII SERIOUSLY WEAKENED.

China's PLAN Boomer Subs reached Cold War-era TRIDENT-level capability???

* IIRC TURKEY-DAY GUAMPDN > GUAM VISIT BY JAMES WEBB = indic that China has UNILATERALLY FORCIBLY "ANNEXED" an area off its coasts + close to the Philippines, and as far south as the entrance to the Malaccas???

While the US-World was watching the ISIS, ...
> Iran took over Yemen.
> Putin took over the Crimea, + seemingly still wants to take over select coastal landbridges or land corridors connecting Russia to same.
> China took over the South China Sea.
