UK Prime Minister David Cameron stated that it is "absolutely clear" that the G-8 Summit scheduled for June in Sochi, Russia will not go ahead. But it is President Obama that appears to be pressing the hardest for major changes:

This comes at a time when Ukraine forces are being withdrawn from Crimea and deployed to North, South, and East borders of the region.  Meanwhile, Ukraine is taking its soldiers pulled from Crimea and deploying them along all other borders.

  • UKRAINE DEPLOYS ARMY TO NORTH, SOUTH, EAST BORDERS: PARUBIY
  • UKRAINE HAS MOBILIZED MORE THAN 10,000 PEOPLE, PARUBIY SAYS

David Cameron says G-8 Summit Scrapped...

There will be no G8 summit in Russia this year, David Cameron said in a further ign of efforts to isolate Moscow over the Ukraine crisis.

 

The Prime Minister said it was "absolutely clear" the meeting could not go ahead.

 

Speaking in The Hague ahead of a meeting of G7 leaders, he said: "We should be clear there's not going to be a G8  summit this year in Russia. That's absolutely clear."

 

Preparations for the planned June summit in Sochi had already been suspended as a result of Russia's actions in neighbouring Ukraine.

And Obama is calling for Russia to be kicked out of the G-8.

I'm going to kick the whole world out of my club, but only for hypocritical reasons. There, do I make the news? I'm calling my father to see if the treehouse is still up, and my sister to see if she has that ouija board. If it lands on a letter we print more money. The G1 - Crayolaprintistan.

The precise, proximate cause of Japan's attack on the US at Pearl Harbor was the US-led embargo of oil shipments to Japan. So, let's go right ahead and kick Russia out of the G8, tighten up on those sanctions, and while you're at it Noble Leader let's dip that middle finger in American blood and draw another big red line and dare Russia to cross it.

There is a disturbing trend on ZH here, any critisicm of Putin is instantly met with scorn, as if he is somehow a white knight only looking out for the common good of mankind. Unfortunatly for anyone looking up to him to right the worlds wrongs you will be very dissapointed when the truth is revealed that he is just a soulless shill, like every other so called "world leader", and he leaves you to die in the wake of his shit blizzard.

Battle of the Oligarchs with a mixture of Nazi provocateurs and the People caught in the middle.

The 21st Century is nothing more then the continuation of 15th Century “Empire” barbarism. Ha Ha.

http://www.nationalreview.com/node/373993/print "Special Operations Forces used to be about capturing or killing America’s adversaries; its new mission is to shape public opinion." Isn't that what they've been doing (inadvertently) all along?

The proxy wars being fought now in Syria and in the Ukraine stand a very good chance of becoming direct, "hot wars" by this summer or fall, especially if the democraps look like they are in trouble in the upcoming elections. look for Turkey, under pressure of it's NATO brothers {and sisters}, to close the Dardanelles to Russian ships, even though this act would violate treaties.
