| [Washington Post] DONETSK, Ukraine -- Defiant pro-Russian snuffies here in eastern Ukraine pushed this country to the brink of war or dissolution Monday, expanding their hold while the acting president failed to make headway in trying to end the crisis.

| #2 More this AM ... * BIGNEWSNETWORK > [VoA] FORMER UKRAINE PRESIDENT [Leonid Kuchma] SAYS ONLY WEST CAN RESOLVE CRISIS. * SAME, PEOPLE'S DAILY ONLINE > UKRAINE DECLARES CRIMEA AS "TEMPORARILY OCCUPIED TERRITORY". I may be wrong, but I suspect the post-Crimea Ukraine Govt. is beginning to see or realize that Putin = Russia wants its own "GITMO/ GUANTANAMO BAY" Option ala the US + Cuba. * FREEREPUBLIC > [WaPo = James Jeffrey] US SHOULD SEND TROOPS TO QUELL UKRAINE CRISIS. Sorry, Jimmy Jeff, unfortunately your recommendation or proposal goes against the Anti-US OWG Globalist agenda. OWG GLOBALISTS > PUTINIST RUSSIA = "MAHANIST", "POST-US" WANNBE RISING CHINA = RISING IRAN, ETAL? CANNOT + MUST NOT BE "CONTAINED" BY THE US AS THESE MUST EXPAND UNTO OWG "CO-SUPERPOWER" PAR STATUS VEE THE USA. RELATED TOPIX = UKRAINE ARMY NOT STRONG ENOUGH TO QUELL SEPARATISTS. * BHARAT RAKSHAK > [Guardian.UK] PRO-RUSSIA REBELS VOW TO CONTROL SUPERSTRUCTURE [all] ACROSS DONETSK REGION. * WORLD NEWS > [Telegraph.UK] RUSSIA DOESN'T NEED ANOTHER CRIMEA IN UKRAINE, ALL IT HAS TO DO IS SOW CHAOS. |

| #1 See also BHARAT RAKSHAK > [Russia Today] UNREST EXPANDS IN EASTERN UKRAINE AS KIEV THREATENS MILITARY OPERATION. Pro-Russia fever has hit the City of Gorlova. * SAME > [The Big Story] UKRAINE ASKS FOR UN PEACEKEEPERS. * SAME > [WSJ.com] UKRAINE ACTING PRESIDENT: NOT OPPOSED TO REFERENDUM ON POLITICAL AUTONOMY. IMO the Ukrainians see what Putin is covertly up to - does the Obama Admin = USA??? As hinted by ... * TOPIX > [SCMP] MASSED ARMY [Russian] IN UKRAINE PART OF PUTIN'S "PLAN B". IMO as per Putin's = Russia's willingness to act unilaterally iff the Bammer + Kerry take too long to respond to Russia's proposals, or don't respond at all. |
