Missile destroyer USS Ramage and command ship USS Mount Whitney took position off the Ukrainian coast outside Russian waters to "assist in case of terror attacks", but as Christoph Hörstel, Government Consultant and Publicist, said in an exclusive interview with the Voice of Russia, American main concern is to continue their NATO encroachment against Russia

Could these ships really be on two different missions?

And with that in mind my question is are sanctions against Ukraine likely to be adopted during this EU Council session?

This man got the closest to unifying Africa than any man since The Most Honorable Marcus Garvey. Obama Hitlery Clinton and Susan Rice helped destroy that goal.

It saddens me that most African people do not know what he was about and how NATO sparked a genocide of 40,000 Libyans. I didn't see Obama shed a tear for those African Libyan children that were sodomized and decapitated and lynched in the streets.
