Rumors of War - King of the North

My Way News - Crimea declares independence; West hits back
My Way News reports: "Crimea's declaration of independence Monday from Ukraine triggered the toughest Western sanctions against Russia since the Cold War - with Washington and the European Union retaliating with asset freezes and travel bans and U.S. President Barack Obama vowing to 'increase the cost' if the Kremlin does not back down."

My Way News - East vs West Ukraine conflict not a new Cold War
My Way News reports: "U.S. brands including McDonald's and Pepsi have a big presence in Russia, and the European Union does far more trade with the country than the U.S. The Europeans are less eager than Washington to take punitive economic measures, in part because European companies from German engineering firm Siemens to British oil giant BP have major Russian investments. And Russia supplies almost a third of Europe's natural gas."
