this time, between annihilation or learn to speak russian, perhaps attending school is a better option for enough small fries but of course i do not actually believe herr putin is out to expand russia beyond its old parameters otoh, doesn't matter what i believe only matters what i believe everyone else may be believing sure looks like herr putin is behaving as would any good old fashioned neo republicans would and, for all practical purposes, any democrat also would in the mean time, would observe that ... well, you know, get gold now all nations, states, territories, and whatever must stay seriously alert, make no sudden hasty moves, because regrets later would be accompanied by bad scenes state A says to nation B, hey, about that cop USA, he seems to be out of town and busy nation B, yeah, and there is this guy around the corner sporting dark eyewear, wonder what he is all about? the time to line up the ducks is now, to make friends before friends are needed generally, but it is never too late - only the cost be different and terms may vary

am wondering what putin may or may not do to help out on yemen destabilising saudi arabia ? game on mr obama's move reuters.com Yemen drone strikes, ambushes kill 10(Reuters) - At least four suspected al Qaeda militants were killed in air strikes in Yemen on Monday, following the deaths of several soldiers in the south of the country, local officials and state news agency Saba reported. The U.S.-allied country which shares a long border with Saudi Arabia has been raked with lawlessness and violence since 2011, when mass protests forced long-serving President Ali Abdullah Saleh to step down. State news agency Saba said armed men set upon the soldiers in a pair of ambushes, killing six, after the soldiers had foiled a mortar and rocket propelled grenade attack on a gas pipeline in the southern Shabwa province. It said 14 other soldiers were wounded in the ambushes between Mayfa'a and Radoum districts in Shabwa. The agency did not identify the attackers but the government often blames Islamists linked to al Qaeda for trying to sabotage the country's infrastructure. Local residents said a U.S. drone later targeted a vehicle travelling in the area and killed two of its occupants. Local officials said two more suspected al Qaeda militants were killed in another drone strike in the Maarib province, an oil-producing area in central Yemen where al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP) operates. The United States has stepped up drone strikes as part of a campaign against AQAP, regarded by Washington as the most active wing of the network. Yemen, AQAP's main stronghold, is among a handful of countries where the United States acknowledges using drones, although it does not comment on the practice. Tackling lawlessness in Yemen, an impoverished Arabian Peninsula state bordering the world's biggest oil exporter Saudi Arabia, is an international priority. The United States views Yemen as a front line in its struggle against al Qaeda. In addition to the al Qaeda threat, Yemen continues to confront demands by southern separatists for independence, and is trying to quell rebels from the Shi'ite Muslim Houthi movement, which has been on an offensive to extend its control over the north.

just typed a long response and accidentally pressed the return button bottom line is we may go to war for lots of reasons within Russia if there is an accidentally wrong move. the despots there see war as a solution and another way to stay in power an exploit the masses Their mentality is relative primitive - no cash breakin in the neighbor home by force The envisioned "economic union" that most Ukrainians opposed was exactly that "sell us on the cheap and buy from us for how much we demand". only if they will realize that they will lose substantial part of their own wealth war can be avoided The west can still do it at low cost inflation is spiraling discontent is growing proving war will not solve this but making things worse, is war avoidance Europe deciding to go for LNG will be a big enough threat to economic stability
