That Didn't Take Long: The First Lie about Moscow Meeting

Not much has filtered out of the Medusa Merkel/General Hollande/Vlad tense threesome in Moscow. And yet John Kerry, as usual, is already lying through his teeth about their trip to the Kremlin.

He said Putin had sent "a couple of ideas" to France and Germany, and Merkel/Hollande were responding. Nonsense: Merkel/Hollande -- in desperation -- went to Moscow to talk to Putin because Putin has the ONLY possible plan to stabilize Ukraine -- and that has been the case for months now.

~snip~

Kerry lied the extra mile when he said the US wanted a diplomatic solution. BUT then came the usual talk of "reviewing all options," including "the possibility of providing defensive systems to Ukraine."

~snip~

No wonder the absolute majority of the EU -- apart from crackpot Lithuanians -- is opposed to weaponizing Kiev's goons.

The Ukraine crisis is all about the Crimea.

Imagine a scenario where Russia instigated a plan to take over Norfolk, VA for its shipbuilding 'prowess'. How much world noise do you think that will make? How far would we go to get it back?

Personally I think the idea of taking over Russia's Black Sea Fleet is nuts, but the shit we keep floating is overpriced, unmanned and under-gunned.

Case in point: Littoral Combat Ships

At least 3/4 of a billion dollars each AND they are not survivable when the shit hits the fan. (Psst: That 3/4 billion dollars LCS uses $71 million dollars a year in gas).

It's either and op ed or it's news. Can't be both. News is unbiased, op-eds are not.

Also, Russia good, USA bad! Yay Putin!
