Washington certainly has made sure that the only profitable "commodity" we have left to offer the rest of the world is war. Its time to clean house I think.

Yes, Of course Samm. You're absolutely right, as usual.

No idea which media you watch but around these parts they have made much about the fact that the najority in the Crimea are Russian so of course they welcome the troops.

I see that chickenhawk McCain and his girlfriend Leslie are sabre rattling again.

Now I hear some talking head saying the Chinese will not go along withe sanctions. Whoops the Chinese love the Chinese and would be only too happy to see a knot jerked in Putin's tail.

The biggest threat at the moment is that Putin may well become unhinged, he is not that far from being a total nutcase as it is.

There are additional reasons too. Take a look at these Svoboda followers who
were very active in the regime change.

I don't watch any US media. I have a very diverse "favs" list of mostly international news sources.
