Reality Check On Crimea

The West should redo its homework. Crimea has always been an integral part of Russia. It took a Ukrainian (Khrushchev) to transfer the peninsula over to the Ukraine. Since it was an act of a Soviet governmental political mechanism, it appears that after the fall of the Soviet Union, the surprisingly real-estate-like deed could be considered null and void. Moreover, Russia, the internationally recognized caretaker for all matter and obligation left over from the Soviet era, is the rightful authority on the disposition of the decisions by USSR's government. Then it makes sense that now, Russia, and Crimean Russians, have the right to decide the ultimate state of the peninsula.

It is also a double standard: the US has the right to put together a posse and invade faraway countries, but Russia cannot repossess its rightful possession with its own ethnicity. Not fair.

The poster is cute and poignant, but a reminder of fairness which Putin pointed out: during the most dangerous moments of Cold War, USSR (Russia) never used oil to blackmail the West. Unlike the Moslems with their petro-tantrums.

Common Wisdom About The Malaysian Airlines Flight 370.

I think in all the suspense of the missing Malaysian jet, some obvious common sense conclusions might be pointing to a solution,or the cause, and the guilty. Scouring talk backs to online news reports:

Allah, the god revealed in the Quran, is not a loving father. It says that he desires to lead people astray (Surah 6:39 , 126). He does not help those who are led astray by him (Surah 30:29) and desires to use them to populate hell (Surah 32:13).

Hillary Clinton has just released a statement on the missing plane, It reads "What difference does it make at this point".
...
According to the latest Al Gore statement the plane was caught up in extreme winds that blew it off course and excessive heat that disabled it's systems, both due to Global warming.

a leaderless and failing US press is nearly hysterical over a plane crash that has nothing to do with america!! even Malaysia is having more trouble with their meddling than finding the plane!!

the plane has landed in a radical islamic country---on board is either gold---diamonds or---nuclear triggers---the latter being more probable.

WCG
A muslim pilot and copilot, what could possibly go wrong?

and I add: the plane has landed on a dusty landing strip in some central Asian country, all of its officials bribed and child abusers, to repaint the plane in the nap-of-the-earth camouflage. It will be fueled up, flown low, its next targets - one of the skyscrapers in Dubai,  Moscow or Tel Aviv.

I can't imagine paying $5.00 even in debauched dollars – $0.15 in pre Nix currency. Right now $4.00 per Gal it makes sense for me to consider to get on my bike and pedal 20 blocks to my Chevy Volt parked by the charging station. Situation being – Ossified (possibly conflicted) Con Edison Management dragging its feet in installing charging stations on residential streets. Ain't that cooked yet. Remember 16 Kw battery is 40 miles of fun or work or Etc. Then you run the gas engine just for nostalgia.

I Think Debauched Dollars are one part of the blind men's description of the gas prices Elephant.
Another are Planet Saudi Arabia is BSing about its pumping proves. And G. Sucks an Morgan Sucks are colluding (or at least enabling) Russians ( The oil is their major reason for growth) and Oil Companies (Half of British Retirees depend on BP's payouts) to ride World's growing dependency on what is a finite resource. Go electric. There definitely are no wires between Middle East and US. The utilities are regulated and electricity is definitely not a finite resource.
