Ukraine (closed; covers till August 2014)

[JMA]

JMA---took the time to find via the Russian nationalist sites at least 12 videos taken in eastern Ukraine in the last two days and all had individuals walking around using cellphones.

And you cannot tell me that the NSA does not know what is going on?

And if so why not release the paraphases of the conversations if not the entire conversations and translated for the world media to listen to and understand?

To be honest I think the US is in disarray.

Obama has gone missing, Kerry seems to have imploded and now they are going to trot out Biden - yes, hilarious isn't it - to reassure the Ukrainians that the US will do nothing...

What ever happened to Al Haig - the 'I'm in control here' guy?

Crazy guy but he had style.

I imagine he would handle the situation like this...

Haig flies into Moscow overnight and insists on taking in some of the sights before meeting with Lavrov... When he finally meets with Lavrov he says: "Forgive my indulgence Secretary Lavrov but I had to use this visit to take in the sights of Moscow because unless you withdraw your troops beyond 100 miles of the Ukraine border within the next 48 hours Moscow will end up as a pile of radioactive rubble with Red Square as Ground Zero. I will be leaving now and taking my embassy staff with me. Good day to you sir."

Oh for the good old bad days... sure beats the wimps of today.
