#1 OTOH see JAPAN TIMES > NATO SAYS RUSSIAN TROOPS POURING INTO UKRAINE AS KIEV READIES FOR COMBAT, MH17 REMAINS FOUND.

Vlad unilater forcibly securing Russia's "land bridge(s)" to the Crimea???

* TOPIX > TURKEY'S [Secular] ISLAMIST PROBLEM IS RUSSIA'S JIHADIST PROBLEM.

VERSUS

* WORLD MILITARY FORUM > RUSSIA TO DECLARE THE US A [strategic] "THREAT" AND "ADVERSARY" IN NEW MILITARY DOCTRINE.

"US" - you know, THE [Nuclear?] HARD BOYZ???

* SAME > A FIERY PHONE CALL BETWEEN TURKEY'S LEADER ERDOGAN AND RUSSIA'S VLADIMIR PUTIN ENDS IN MUTUAL THREATS, RUSSIA WARNS TURKEY TO STOP TRYING TO OVERTHROW ASSAD AND INTERVENE IN SYRIAN AFFAIRS.

* GROONG > [Putin's]EURASIAN UNION RULES OUT POLITICAL INTEGRATION: ANALYST.

* Lest we fergit, TOPIX [old = repost] > [Eurasia Net] CSTO [Russia-led] SAYS ISIS THREATENS POST-SOVIET STATES [Ex Soviet "-Stans" = CENTASIA], BLAMES NATO [ + US].
