My Way News - Russia sets Ukraine agenda with diplomacy, threats
My Way News reports: "Russian troops said to be 16,000 strong tightened their stranglehold on
Ukraine's Crimean Peninsula Monday, openly defying the U.S. and the
European Union and rattling world capitals and stock markets.
The West struggled to find a way to get Russia to back down, but with
little beyond already threatened diplomatic and economic sanctions,
global markets fell sharply over the prospect of violent upheaval in the
heart of Europe."
Comment: The Russian occupation of Crimea is a done deal. The only real question now is, will they also take eastern Ukraine? However it ends, it's likely to leave Russia in a far stronger position and the preeminent leader of an anti-Western faction that includes China, North Korea (as Kings of the East) and Iran (Persia). It's an axis of malcontents and rebels whose hand seems destined to grow stronger.
