One saving grace is the futile stupidity of the US position: ZB's grand dream of Heartland Asia!
Seems people have owned that land before, and never conquered the world. this folly was followed by Genghis Khan whose people are now stabbing the Han in Ulan Bator shopping malls to drive them out of business, Hitler Youth who are now almost totally disarmed and disinterested, and Napoleon among other failed fantasies. The Cossacks and the Khazanians also owned this land once upon a time, the latter having disappeared into perhaps Basel some say, i dunno.
To play with people's lives over this kind of crap is to toy with holocaust and venality as bad as any serial gunner in US schools. worse. the numbers are bigger.
But the crime of Obama is his sanctimonious preaching that he uses to advance his sycophantic career as a CFR Trilateral Commision and Rockefeller Foundation lackey.
meanwhile this distraction: i mean the world either goes completely to radioactive hell or it doesn't--takes us away from the total control of trade, energy and food by the world Bank thru the various TPPs and nazi revisionists we also support. What's better Neo Nazis in Ukraine or Assad in Syria...or what's worse. How can we be on both sides of everything?
