#1 See also BIGNEWSNETWORK > US LAWMAKERS READY TO ACT ON UKRAINE [Russia sanctions], BUT WANT EUROPE TO STEP UP.

Otherwise, stop complaining about the US being the "world's policeman" - good or bad, directly or indirectly, etc. the US is such because the intrenational community wants the US to be so.

* SAME > [USNWR] CHINA + RUSSIA BRING BACK GREAT POWER POLITICS.

Sniff, sniff, is there no love for Rising Iran aka OWG Co-Superpower Iran???

* WORLD MILITARY FORUM > PAUL CRAIG ROBERTS: UKRAINE CRISIS "MORE DANGEROUS THAN CUBAN MISSLE CRISIS".

Iff the Bammer + Admin are adhering to a dedicated anti-US OWG Globalist agenda, IT WILL BE THE USA WHOM "BLINKS" NOT PUTIN, OR CHINA, OR IRAN, OR ... ...@ETAL.

FYI DEFENCE.PK/FORUMS = CHINA SAYS ITS MILITARY WILL RESPOND TO PROVOCATIONS - YAHOO NEWS, espec agz China's sovereignty | US + OTHER [IMO read, Japan] SHOULD TAKE CHINA'S SOVERIEGNTY CLAIMS SERIOUSLY, SAYS VICE-FOREIGN MINSTER [Fu Ying] ON EVE OF DEFENCE-BUDGET STATEMENT.

* WORLD NEWS > IN CRIMEA, AN ECHO OF THE SUDENTENLAND.

RELATED TOPIX > [Right Wing News] PUTIN ADOPTS A RUSSIAN "LEBENSTRAUM" ["living space"] POLICY.

versus

* INDIAN DEFENCE FORUM > UKRAINE CRISIS: SEVASTOPAL SHIPS [Ukrainian Navy] "DEFENDED WID MATTRESSES".

Wehell, iff matresses won't stop Putin's Boyz I don't know what will!

* WORLD NEWS > [Ria Novosti] CRIMEA TO GET ITS OWN DEFENSE MINISTRY.

* SAME > THREE SOUTH UKRAINIAN CITIES WANT TO JOIN WID CRIMEA - RUSSIAN LAWMAKER.

* SAME > UKRAINE CRISIS: UKRAINIAN NAVY WANTS A "UNIFIED UKRAINE".

* TOPIX > WHY OBAMA SHOULDN'T FALL FOR PUTIN'S UKRAINIAN FOLLY.

Only winner between the US-vs-Russia = Obama-vs-Putin over Ukraine-Crimea will be CHINA.

#6 U.S. President Barack Obama, however, said Putin's rationale for his incursion into Crimea was not "fooling anybody"

Not to worry we have a real Sherlock at the helm.

#7 ION WORLD NEWS > [Fox News Channel] TYMOSHENKO SAYS WEST [US-NATO/EU] MUST FORCE RUSSIA TO WITHDRAW TROOPS FROM CRIMEA.

* REUTERS > KERRY SAYS RUSSIA LOOKING FOR PRETEXT TO INVADE MORE OF UKRAINE.

I'm not convinced, as IMO the last thing Russia = Putin + russia's fragile economy needs right now is to be unilaterally or solely responsible $$$-wise for an ex-SSR.

versus

* GULF NEWS > UKRAINE CRISIS HAS TO DO WITH [rival = competing] ECONOMIC INTERESTS.

US-EU vs. Russia.
