#1 Meanwhile, not to be outdone by Nuke-wannabe Ukrainians ...

* JAPAN TIMES > [US-Japan] DEFENSE TALKS WID US LOOKING AT "GREY ZONE" CLASH SCENARIOS.

China.

ARTIC = Japan fears the day is coming [sooner than later?] when its ally the USA will no longer stand up or oppose China or China's interests.

versus

* GROONG > TURKEY MUST CHOOSE - EUROPE OR RUSSIA?

IMO TURKEY = UKRAINE = JAPAN + EAST ASIA vee USA right now.

* DEFENCE FORUM INDIA, BHARAT RAKSHAK > CHINA DEFENDS ITS TERRITORY CLAIMS, DEMANDS RESPECT - DAWN.COM.

Or else???

[ARETHA'S "R-E-S-P-E-C-T" here].

* CHINA DAILY FORUM > POSTER THREAD: CHINA NEEDS A LESSON FROM RUSSIA ON DEFENDING OVERSEAS ETHNIC CHINESE.

* TOPIX > CHINA'S UKRAINE PROBLEM.

#3 I'm sure a lot of countries are thinking along the same lines.

The academics and other useful idiots in America for years have pushed for utopian unilateral nuclear disarmament without any understanding of the real world beyond their mantra of 'America's to blame'. They have no real understanding of how the human race has behaved for four thousand years - thus Kerry's 19th Century comment.

#4 So Ukraine is gonna fight a nuclear war against Russia? Riiiiiiight. They think Vlad is gonna sit and watch while they ramp up a nuke program? And who's gonna pay for it? Are they gonna borrow the money from Vlad, the EU or Obama?

#6 They think Vlad is gonna sit and watch while they ramp up a nuke program?

If they followed their former masters behavior, they would have cheated and kept a few around (see - Biological Treaty: Russia-US).

#7 * Oh yeah, it is getting better in the Balck Sea Region, or "hotter" actually ... ...

To wit,

* TOPIX > UKRAINE SEEKS NATIONAL GUARD, CALLS UP RESERVES [+ Volunteers].

* BHARAT RAKSHAK > [Guardian.UK] UKRAINE PARLIAMENT DELIVERS ULTIMATUM TO CRIMEA ON [independence] REFERENDUM, CRIMEAN ASSEMBLY TO CALL OFF INDEPENDENCE REFERENDUM OF FACE DISSOLUTION AS US ATTEMPTS AT DIPLOMACY STALL.

Ironically, this action by Kiev does not necessarily go against my "Gitmo/Guantanamo" scenario for the Crimea.

versus

* RUSSIA TODAY > [Ria Novosti] CRIMEA DECLARES INDEPENDENCE FROM UKRAINE AHEAD OF REFERENDUM.

Ditto as per my post above.

* FYI DEFENCE.PK.FORUMS > CHINA [Xi Jinping] REBUFFS OBAMA'S PLAN FOR CRIMEA | THE DAILY CALLER.

* TOPIX, WORLD NEWS > UKRAINE: WE WILL NOT INTERVENE IN CRIMEA.

* VOICE OF RUSSIA > CRIMEA TO CHANGE NAME - PM KONSTANTINOV.

The former Autonomous Ukrainian Republic of Crimea plans to change its name to the Republic of Crimea.

versus

* VOICE OF RUSSIA > "IT WILL BEST FOR THE UKRAINE IFF THE US JUST STAYED OUT OF THE ARGUMENT" - FORMER US CONGRESSMAN [Ron Paul].

Sorry, Ron, as much as I like a number of your platforms this is NOT what overseas US Allies JAPAN + PHIL + SOKOR + TAIWAN + VIETNAM + INDIA + MUSLIM ALLIES want to hear.

Iff Putin, etal. criticizes the USA = POTUS Obama, it is the Bammer's job as an alleged anti-US, OWG Marxist-Anarchist-Globalist to accept + let him [them].

PCorrectly-Deniably like a good National-now-Global Politico, of course.

AS A OWG GLOBIE, THE BAMMER'S JOB IS TO SURRENDER LIKE FRANCE TO AMER'S RIVALS WID THE FULL APPLAUSE + SUPPORT OF THE AMERIKAN PEOPLE.

* SAME > UKRAINE MAY BECOME THE WORST RUSSIAN-US SHOWDOWN SINCE THE CUBAN CRISIS - EXPERT.
