\"Russia\"<\/a><\/center><\/p>\n

Apparently the Russians have never heard of the Monroe Doctrine, or they just don’t care about it, according to a link to CNN<\/a> sent to us by Pinto Nag;<\/p>\n

Defense Minister Sergey Shoigu said Wednesday that “we have to maintain (Russia’s) military presence in the western Atlantic and eastern Pacific, as well as the Caribbean and the Gulf of Mexico” — including sending bombers “as part of the drills.” Shoigu added that Russia will also boost its security in Crimea, the region it annexed from Ukraine earlier this year.<\/p>\n

“In many respects, this is connected with the situation in Ukraine, with fomentation of anti-Russian moods on the part of NATO and reinforcement of foreign military presence next to our border,” Shoigu said.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Sounds a little too testosterony for my liking, but I’m sure it doesn’t rattle the current administration because nothing has happened yet.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile Russia is also planning a new media outlet called “Sputnik” says Fox News<\/a>;<\/p>\n

The new “Sputnik” network reportedly will involve radio broadcasts and websites staffed by hundreds of workers from offices in 25 international cities. An English-version website already has been launched, and includes a heavy dose of the world-according-to-Moscow. <\/p>\n

A lead headline Thursday morning blared, “Russian Troops Never Crossed Ukrainian Border: Foreign Ministry.” That’s in response to NATO allegations that Russia was sending fresh troops and tanks into eastern Ukraine. Another headline warned how immigrants to the United States “lack protection” and “face violence.” Yet another declared: “Russia, Unlike the US, Recognizes Iran as Growing Power: Middle East Expert.” <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

They’re also increasing spending on their RT media venture, because there’s not enough propaganda in our news, i suppose.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
