The world will regret military inaction if it does not fight now!

Creative accounting to fund adventurism in Europe?
Swiss banks hit by huge fund exit - Companies | IOL Business | IOL.co.za
"Zurich - Swiss banks have suffered from a massive outflow of funds since 2008, a survey said on Friday, squeezed by an international crackdown on tax evasion."
The business was essentially corrupt feeding on the misery of poor people needing the help tax dollars provide. Multinationals involved were corrupt to the core, though their lawyers plead otherwise. Playing a game of 'catch me if you can' is corruption and criminal.
Mothers of Russian Soldiers ask why their Russian sons were in the Ukraine "Captured by Ukraine" .... Demand Answers
KOSTROMA, Russia — Dozens of women gathered at the checkpoint of a military base outside this provincial town on Thursday, demanding to know how their sons and husbands had ended up on Ukrainian videos being interviewed as captives.
Lying by Russia is not effective.
We all know and will permanently distrust Russia!
Backstabbing FSB of Russia?
Lexington: The Rand Paul bubble | The Economist
"That is the wrong question. Lexington would wager against Mr Paul winning the Republican nomination, let alone a general election. As a politician he is ill-disciplined and drawn to absolutist positions, to the right and left of the mainstream. He drafted a plan to balance the budget in five years (by eliminating whole departments and slashing services), opposes all gun controls and is "100%" anti-abortion even in cases of rape and incest. At the same time, he says government spying on phones and e-mails has turned America into a "police state". A more compelling question concerns the 51-year-old senator's analysis of politics. He thinks he has spotted a turning point, with voter disenchantment so widespread, especially among the young, that old party loyalties are up for grabs."
A perverted party such that it is a loser destroying America with its lack of sanity and intelligence. Billionaires supporting PAUL should be taxed so they don't do stupid stuff with their ILL GOTTEN money?
Killings in US and NRA response is a perverted message to kids: Parks bad, guns good
America's gun lobby is nothing more than a group of sick perverted people making children sick and perverted.
A society divided so profoundly will fail.
"The New Republic's Alec MacGillis has a simple observation. In today's US, it's illegal for 9-year-olds to play in a park by themselves, but it's perfectly permissible for them to fire Uzi machine guns."

"Mr Obama's line is a textbook example of veteran journalist Michael Kinsley's definition of a political gaffe, which occurs when a politician tells an "obvious truth that he isn't supposed to say".
But is that "obvious truth" that the Islamic State situation is beyond an easy fix or that the president is blundering without a foreign policy vision? (Or both?)"
http://www.bbc.com/news/blogs-echochambers-28977365BBC News - Ukraine to seek Nato membership, says PM Yatsenyuk
"On Thursday Nato released satellite images it said showed Russian forces inside Ukraine. and said more than 1,000 troops were operating there.
Russia denies sending troops."
The world knows Russia is lying...
BBC News - Ukraine 'slipping out of control', Germany warns
'Foreign Minister Frank Steinmeier made the remarks on the eve of an EU summit which will consider further sanctions against the Russian government.'
http://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-28990428‘Hack Attack,’ About a Rupert Murdoch Paper’s Trials, by Nick Davies - NYTimes.com
'In the United States, most of us fall for the movie version of Britain — horsy, obsessed with propriety and full of hard stares of unfulfilled longing between the genders. And then there is the Britain of Nick Davies's "Hack Attack: The Inside Story of How the Truth Caught Up With Rupert Murdoch."'
Russia is lying to the whole world and even its own people. FSB mentality takes over Russian state operations.
Russia is lying to the world not just the West. Rogue leader seems to be out of control? Russian troops in Ukraine are serious threat to world peace as major economies contemplate further actions against rogue state that has mentality of a brain defective idiot bent on destruction of hard build harmony. This will not end well!
"Russia denies any of its troops are in eastern Ukraine. But on Thursday, Nato said it estimated that there were now more than 1,000 Russian soldiers fighting there. The organisation released satellite imagery it said showed that Russian armoured vehicles and artillery have been crossing into Ukraine for at least a week. Guardian Moscow correspondent Shaun Walker (@shaunwalker7) reports:"
GOP says it will do almost anything for money such as fouling up the middle class in America.
American elitists denounce middle class for money?
"Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) is taking heavy fire from Democrats for comments he made during a private strategy conference hosted by billionaires Charles and David Koch, outlining his strategy to oppose Democratic pet proposals if Republicans take the Senate"

Sketches from scratches is a provocative blogspot that has grown out of the Wuh Lax experience. It is eclectic, which means that it might consider just about anything from the simple to the extremely difficult. A scratch can be something that is troubling me or a short line on paper. From a scratch comes a verbal sketch or image sketch of the issue or subject. Other sites have other stuff that should really be of interest to the broad reader. I try to develop themes, but variety often comes before depth.
