Thank you full and interesting article. I print out those like this as it makes it easier to remember facts to share in conversation. With so many of my friends stuck in TV wonderland, there’s an even greater need to articulate another point of view.

Hi, Rogozin was not the official I was focussed on actually. Volodin -- the Duma speaker -- said ANY arms necessary, and that was a little scary because it does not rule out nukes. Of course, we know Russia can ONLY use tactical nukes, and probably not even. The email I got from Crimea said the people are restless and may try to overthrow the govt. I do not believe any such rumor but this whole business with tough statements is, just as in the US, PR. There is not indication that it will actually happen, but if the West (incl Kiev) THINKS it might, it will throw the fear of the Lord in them and that is good!
