P. C. Roberts has it down pat. The war profiteers would like nothing more than another serious bout of confusion to look forward to, now that Iraq and Afghanisthan have failed, and Syria/Iran look to be not so profitable at this time. A high level government sort once said to me "there is opportunity in confusion". I wanted to suggest to him to simply sit and wait because he was guaranteed to make it big in time because of the second law of thermodynamics. But I bit my tongue instead. :)

and/or, at the end of the day (g), a tempest in a samovar because all this will be forgotten soon enough as the dispute is rightfully in the Russkie backyard and none of anyone's biz. Just wait until they start to harangue us about our policy in say, Manitoba or Nuevo León.

With regard to the Rand Paul comments in Paul Craig Roberts piece, the acorn has fallen far from the tree. Ron Paul slams US on Crimea crisis and says Russia sanctions are 'an act of war' >>>>Ron Paul, who retired from his Texas congressional seat in 2012, has always adopted a sceptical view of US foreign interventions. He said that although the US had not been involved in any military overthrow of the government in Kiev, it had facilitated a coup in the sense of “agitating” elements who wanted to usurp Ukraine’s former president, Victor Yanukovych. “The evidence is pretty clear that the NGOs [non-governmental organisations] financed by our government have been agitating with billions of dollars, trying to get that government changed,” he said. “Our hands are not clean.”<<<< theguardian.com The Acorn has presidential aspirations.

Amusing; <should the obama doctrine pass the laugh-test (the part about referendum is forbidden)> Hypocrisy is presumably just a fig leaf for their atavistic chimpoid selves, as they can't really be so obtuse as to believe what they say. To oppose the people of Crimea voting on nationality and return to the fold of Russia is absurd. The USA to war to enforce the right of people to self-determination, democracy and all that good stuff. Or so they say. Maybe they really just go to war because King George II Bush disliked Saddam for a murder attempt on his father and for oil concessions or to get a competitor out of the market or to stay on side with the Saudi paymasters. Great Britain went down the pecking order of wondrousness for the most part with dignity after the glories of Virtuous Victorian Values [which of course were far from perfect, merely relatively so]. The USA might not go so quietly or politely. The Argentines have never quite got used to being has-been so keep self-destructing with each sun-spot cycle. Any country which raises its standard out of the gutter toward Virtuous Victorian Values soon attracts a considerable following, capital, trade, and success; Singapore, Hong Kong, Japan, China, South Korea as examples. The battle is on now for control of what really matters and that is Cyberspace. The ITU wants to get its dirty paws on the Domain Name Servers and no doubt taxes and Big Brother will follow. en.wikipedia.org While a duplicate with 21st century design would be expensive, in the interests of redundancy and independence, another degree of freedom would probably attract sufficient business to justify the cost. A bit like Cantor Fitzgerald had a redundant system set up and was able to continue in business despite losing much of the staff and the whole of the Twin Towers facility. Mqurice
