War

Taliban kill nine on another war profiteering hotel in Kabul.

Russia officially annexes Crimea. That sounds like a good thing since the Russian people and the Crimean people both wanted it. Apparently this gives Russia access to Black Sea oil and gas, but Russia already had access to the Black Sea, and Ukraine still has access to the Black Sea. Unless that oil is only off the coast of Crimea, I don't see what this changes.

In a tit-for-tat move, Russia bans nine Americans from entering the country after Obama bans Russians.
"The sanctions ban Boehner, Reid, and Sens. Mary Landrieu, Daniel Coats, Robert Menendez, John McCain, as well as Obama advisers Caroline Atkinson, Daniel Pfeiffer and Benjamin Rhodes from entering Russia."
This is funny.

The Libya war was a lie too.
"NATO’s action magnified the conflict’s duration about sixfold and its death toll at least sevenfold, while also exacerbating human rights abuses, humanitarian suffering, Islamic radicalism, and weapons proliferation in Libya and its neighbors."
The war profiteers profited. That's a success to them.

Eastern Ukraine rallies for secession.

Britons not buying western propaganda, view Russia more favorably than EU.
