bigheadfred:" Well that is it then. Another crisis averted."
Are you sure that this report isn't by RT.com-America
Are they that desperate for a foreign policy success by " I can be very flexible " ??

I don’t get it, just behind the top title page there are two men with machine guns pointing at the reporter and two men in a tank. I guess that’s not a military build-up or the NBC reporters are blind.

I would say they are that desperate. And they need to talk about something since CNN is hogging the airplane story.

Did they get the Potemkin tour?

We traveled some 500 miles along the border – sometimes right next to Ukraine, at other times 30 to 40 miles from it – before we came across any sign of military activity.hmmmm... Potemkin tour....nah, not a chance

To: zeestephen
I see the skerry story is from day before yesterday. The story regarding General Breedlove is the newest information nbc has undoubtedly. Even the news is repeating itself.

They're just trying to get a Pulitzer Prize:
"Any report of a famine in Russia [Actually, he meant Ukraine] is today an exaggeration or malignant propaganda.
"In the middle of the diplomatic duel between Great Britain and the Soviet Union over the accused British engineers, there appears from a British source a big scare story in the American press about famine in the Soviet Union,"
-- Walter Duranty in The New York Times March 31, 1933. Nearly 81 years ago to the day. NBC is in "proud company," along with the Abraham Lincoln Brigade, Free Republic Platoon of Putin crotch sniffers.
