#1 that Russia was becoming a democratic, law-abiding country

EU deciding what the law is?

#2 And Britain and the EU loved Obama as well. Shows their judgement is pretty bad in general.

#3 Grom, a thug like Putin running a country mafia style is pretty obviously not a law abiding country. The Ukraine is merely the latest example of Putin's international goonery - go back to Georgia for a previous episode. Stop putting your lips to his ass long enough to think for yourself.

#4 OldSpook, names calling doesn't change basic facts. Russians responding to 2 decades of NATO aggression.

#5 OTOH TOPIX, WORLDNEWS > RAF FIGHTERS INTERCEPT RUSSIAN BOMBERS OFF CORNWALL.

GUAM = CORNWALL, UK = Russian bombers were repor seen INLAND, not just only off or near the Coasts as claimed by London Officios.

* DEFENCE.PK/FORUMS > BRITAIN WOULD "STRUGGLE" IN WAR WID RUSSIA, FORMER [UK Air] DEFENCE CHIEFS SAY.

Where is the USAF-DOD in all this???

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

Back to the Ukraine ...

* RUSSIA TODAY > PUTIN: NO EXTERNAL PRESSURE [ nor Foreign Military Superiority, Dominance] ON RUSSIA WILL GO UNCHALLENGED.

RUSSIA = "AMERICA/CO-AMERICA IN EURASIA" HAS SPOKEN!

Again, its notsomuch what OWG Co-Superpower Russia, etal, is doing, but how "Retreat is World/Global Peace", Anti-US US Globalist + mighty "red line" defender POTUS Obama responds.

OR MORE ACCURATELY, HOW OBAMA DOES NOT RESPOND DELIBERATELY OR DETERMINATIVELY IN THE LEGIT DEFENSE OF US = US-ALLIED INTERESTS???

* JAPAN TIMES [repost]> PUTIN TRIES TO DEFLECT MUSLIM RAGE TOWARD HIS FOES AS JIHAD THREAT RISES IN RUSSIA.

ARTIC > Caucasus Knot Chief Gregori Shvedev = "RUSSIA IS THE ISLAMIC STATE'S NEW TARGET ... THE PROCESS [ISIS = Islamic Militant attack/jihad agz Russia] HAS BEGUN".

* TOPIX > [Examiner.com] RUSSIAN MEDIAS ADMITS REGULAR RUSSIAN TROOPS TOOK DEBALTSEVE.

VERSUS

* INDIAN DEFENCE FORUM > [Business Insider] RUSSIA [Fitch = bond credit rating] DOWNGRADE PAINTS A HORRIFIC PICTURE OF ECONOMIC COLLAPSE.

* TOPIX, WORLD NEWS > RUSSIA'S CREDIT RATING DOWNGRADED TO JUNK BY MOODY'S.

WINNER/ADVANTAGE = HARD BOYZ + GLOBAL JIHAD.

Iff Russia cannot borrow, she will be hard-pressed to salvage her economy = ergo will be hard-pressed to maintain or modernize her Armed Forces = National-Geopol Security = RUSSIA WILL BE HIGHLY VULNERABLE TO HARD BOY TERROR ATTACKS + INSURGENCY = RUSSIA'S NUKES WILL BE AT RISK OF FALLING TO THE HARD BOYZ.

IFF NUKE-ARMED RUSSIA FALLS, NUKE-ARMED CHINA + INDIA, ETC. CAN FALL = USA ITSELF CAN FALL TO THE JIHAD.

COLD WAR-ERA NOW GWOT, POST-9-11 "DOMINO THEORY" + "ZERO-SUM" GAME.
