#6 Dempsey + the other Chiefs, + US Allies, are prolly NOT going to be too inspired by the Bammer saying for the THIRD? TIME on national media that Russia will pay a "cost" for invading the Crimea.

HOPEFULLY, ALL THE US-WORLD IS HEARING IS A LOT OF PCORRECT-DENIABLE MEDIA, DIPLOMATIC RHETORIC, I.E. "GOING THROUGH THE MOTIONS" "FULL OF SOUND-N-FURY" = KHRUSCHEVIAN SHOE-SLAMMING BUT SIGNIFYING NOTHING.

As per Russia's world view, WHATS ON THE OTHER SIDE OF CENTRAL ASIA TO CONTAIN RADICAL ISLAM'S HARD BOYZ + SOON-TO-BE-NUCLEAR OWG GLOBAL JIHAD IS THE CRIMEA.
Its in Russia's interests to keep a watchful MilPol eye on Islamist-pressured TURKEY, NUKE-WANNABE RISING IRAN = GLOBALIST-DESIRED OWG CO-SUPERPOWER IRAN, + COUNT DOOKU'S EMIRATE/CALIPHATE-HAPPY CAUCASUS BOYZ - THE CRIMEA IS RIGHT NEXT TO ALL OF 'EM.
And, ironically, ITS IN THE US + EUROPE'S = JUDEOCHRISTIAN WEST'S INTERSTS TO LET HARDLINE, SMASH-ALL-ENEMIES-TO-PIECES-LOVING RUSSIA TO DO SO. |
