during his interview he was never asked a single question about the Crimea and Russian troops--notice that?

Wise words indeed. I hope she and almost all the others stay safe, which is sadly not sure as payed thugs have attacked, kinapped and even tortured and murdered those which speak out against Putin's madness. Perhaps the greatest tragedy that some of the seperatists, brainwashed by Russian propaganda, are indeed fighting for the 'good' cause.

Putin and the media campaigners are now shifting gears in order to try to get some kind of conversation going with the West in order "to get back to normal" as their economy is suffering and their currency is still taking a major hit.
One sees this theme now on multiple media outlets in a number of different but almost same wording.
Notice how Russian uses the loose term anti constitutional---the Russians never have accepted that the elected Ukrainian Parliament once learning that their President had fled the Ukraine in a super majority to include even the Party of Regions which he was part of ---overwhelming voted to kick him out---sounds like democracy at work and is fully under Ukrainian law "constitutional" especially since the Parliament before the kick out vote changed the Ukrainian constitution back to the one from 2004 which was a Parliament focused Constitution.
But since Putin and co have declared the government illegal, junta, Right Sector, neo nationalists and Nazi's it is hard to change infowar directions if one wants to start a dialogue on one's own terms.
Interfax from today:
10:04 Putin: West has to admit anti-constitutional coup in Ukraine
By placing this infowar statement into play Russian is trying to grasp the straw of hey since the West had a coup so we were "legal" in taking the Crimea.
See the West are the bad guys we the Russians are the good "legal" guys-all designed especially for internal consummation and the attempt to split the West leadership.
Here is the latest infowar shift---the Crimea and Ukraine are not about Russian nationalism---it is all about "economics" which has "nothing" to do with Russian nationalism.

Will be interesting to see how the rest of the connected global media plays this new story line from Putin
