#6 Why should Putin actually believe this statement is more relevant than Bush's empty threats ("These demands are not open to negotiation or discussion. The Taliban must act, and act immediately. They will hand over the terrorists, or they will share in their fate.") made post 9/11?

NATO and the US lost the 9/11 war. The punks have a good reason to feel very lucky.

#10 The Ukraine + World is hearing "the right stuff/thingys" from Biden + SecState Jaawhn + Other, BUT WHAT DOES POTUS BAMMER HIMSELF SAY???

To wit,

* DRUDGEREPORT > OBAMA RULES OUT MILITARY ACTION IN THE UKRAINE [Crimea].

VERSUS

* DEFENCE.PK/FORUMS > [USS "Blue Ridge" Cdr]BUSINESS MIRROR - "US HELP TO THE PHILIPPINES IS UNCLOS-BASED".

Nice + all PCorrect, but NOT exactly reassuring or inspiring.
