    From your linked article

    "A U.S. official said the United States had received proper notification from Russia ahead of the test and that the initial notification pre-dated the crisis in Crimea."

    But then again there's always this, Putin lobbying in America...LOL

    http://www.nbcnews.com/storyline/ukraine-crisis/stealth-players-whos-putins-american-payroll-n44876

    Quote from the article:

    According to records maintained by the Justice Department, the Putin government exerts most of its behind-the-scenes influence in the U.S. through the public relations firm Ketchum, which documents show was paid more than $1.5 million in the most recent six-month reporting period for its work on behalf of Russia.
    What does Ketchum do for that cash? Mostly distribute press releases, the documents say. But according to a document filed in November, Ketchum is also involved in "preparing, disseminating or causing the dissemination" of the website ModernRussia.com, a URL that redirects to

    I was watching our national news the other night and it was pointed out that while Obama was condemning Putin for his invasion of Ukraine because it contrevened international law , the US has done exactly the same thing to other sovereign nations and Obama was sitting beside Benjamin Netanyahu who heads Isreal , and they are currently occupying the West Bank in violation of international law

    Best was Kerry last night giving a speech on how bad the Russians were for what they were doing and we do the same dam shit to other countries.

    Hypocritical bullshit for the masses of sheeple to drink up

    The Russians need control of the oil and gas in the Crimean area in southern Ukraine

    This whole "takeover" of the Ukraine was planned and approved already

    Just like when Russia annexed Georgia in 2008

    I'm not sure what US foreign policy has to do with it ... Other than those clowns agreeing and giving Vlad a green light... which he didn't require

    Putin is going to do what he wants... Not much anyone can do about it

    I guess they could object in the strongest possible terms and send a strongly worded letter to Vlad

    Yawn

    Obama and Putin had an hour and a half phone conversation last week... Prior to
    'The Russians are coming'

    John Kerry flys to Kiev unannounced a couple of days after the Russians started taking over the airports and sea ports... Is he that brave or is he willing to take one for the team ?

    Where is the emergency meeting of the UN Security Council ?
    Anyone heard from the European Union ?

    Now there's this meeting in Paris
    http://www.cbsnews.com/news/ukraine...ension-over-russia-takeover-of-crimea-lavrov/

    It's all about the money, oil, and gas

    And control of the deep water ports

    My guess is the EU and UN have given the green light... Again

    Where are they going to get the billions for this aid package ?

    Rumor has it the bulk of it will come from Michelle's expense account being cut back somewhat.
