#2 It will indeed starin "Washington-Moscow realtions" but won't effecuate any return of the Crimea back to Ukraine.

Any Each + All anti-Russian locals in the Region will have to accept what has happened whether they like it or not.

AGAIN, IMO THE FOCII OF THE KERRY-LAVROV TALKS AS PER THE CRIMEA IS NOTSOMUCH ABOUT RETURNING THE CRIMEA TO SOVEREIGN UKRAINE BUT HOW THE US-NATO/EU + RUSSIA CAN BEST COOPERATE + "SHARE" THE REMNANT OF UKRAINE PROPER WIDOUT THE NOW-RUSSIAN CRIMEA.

* GROONG > [AntiWar] NATO PLANS MILITARY BUILDUP IN THE CAUCASUS.

"Entrenchement" of the Judeo-Christian Bloc.

versus

* WAFF > [Today'S Zaman]RUSSIA WARNS TURKEY, US ON AMERICAN WARSHIPS IN THE BLACK SEA.

Russia = FM Sergei Lavrov is claiming that the transit + prolonged stay of USN surface warships expressly violates terms of the Montreaux Convention.

* CHINESE MILITARY FORUM > RUSSIA MAY DENY NATO AGHAN TRANSIT [To-n-From] IN RETALIATION [NATO suspension of formal cooper wid Russia]: RUSSIAN LEGISLATOR.

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

What is SecState JAAWHN + OBAMA facing agz RUSSIA vee the Crimea Crisis?

Just look at CHINA in East Asia-Pacific...

* As per BHARAT RAKSHAK + NIGHTWATCH =...
> China will NOT accept any negotiations where its DE FACTO ["Sole"]SOVEREIGNTY over disputed islands is NOT recognized from the beginning of talks.
> China will blame the PHIL [Japan?], + ONLY THE PHIL [Japan?], FOR ANY LOSS OF LIFE OR PROPERTY, ETC. IFF ANY SHOOTOUT OCCURS BETWEEN OPPOSING MIL OR SECURITY FORCES.
> China makes it clear that it, NOT THE PHIL [Japan?], is the one acting under serious self-restraint or military restraint in these ongoing disputes, in the name of peace + diplomacy which China will claim the PHIL[Japan?] doesn't want nor care for.

ALL THE ABOVE + OBAMA'S LOVE OF "RED LINES" = RUSSIA KEEPS THE CRIME, ETAL. = CHINA WILL KEEP TAIWAN + EAST CHINA SEA + SOUTH CHINA SEA, ETAL.

GUAM-WESTPAC? HAWAII? ALASKA? 1/2-OR-MORE OF CONUS-NORAM?
