US threats of military action follow Cold War logic - military expert
"We are always looking at what the US does when threatening the use of military force and this reminds us of the Cold War era," Michael McPhearson said, commenting on Obama's criticism of Russian 'dark tactics' and 'aggression' during a speech he made to mark 25 years since the fall of communism in Poland.
"The US continues to advocate policies of pushing NATO closer and closer to the Russian border ' and Russia has reacted to that," McPhearson said.

Between Oukupe & Stephen on "hardTalk" (Video)
"Stephen was not giving him the chance to answer the question straight forward... Stephen was not trying to understand the situation... He as made-up his mind about the situation and all he was trying to was to propagate his thoughts to the world using Okupe as a catalyst and object of ridicule... Okupe knows very well the damage that was done to the government due to the gentle postures taken by other spokespersons... moreover all of us cannot talk in a similar manner, just like the way McCain is not an orator like Obama"

American Exceptionalism: What Obama Told Us At West Point. “Americans are the New Master Race.
American Exceptionalism: What Obama Told Us At West Point. “Americans are the New Master Race. Inferior Humans can be Bombed, Invaded, and Sanctioned.”
At West Point Obama told us, to the applause of West Point cadets, that “American exceptionalism” is a doctrine that justifies whatever Washington does. If Washington violates domestic and international law by torturing “detainees” or violates the Nuremberg standard by invading countries that have undertaken no hostile action against the US or its allies, “exceptionalism” is the priest’s blessing that absolves Washington’s sins against law and international norms. Washington’s crimes are transformed into Washington’s affirmation of the rule of law. Here is Obama in his own words:

Turkish soldiers fire tear gas, water cannon at Kurdish protesters
Soldiers launched an operation early Wednesday to break up a 12-day sit-in by some 400 protesters in the Lice district of Kurdish majority Diyarbakir province.
Protesters hurled stones and fireworks at the soldiers, an AFP reporter witnessed. Clashes were still ongoing and there were no immediate reports of casualties or arrests.
The demonstrators are against the construction of new army posts in Kurdish majority areas which they see as a threat to a peace process launched in 2012 between government and the outlawed Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK).
The local governor's office in Diyarbakir on Monday called for additional security forces to face what it said was increased activity by the PKK.
The rebels declared a ceasefire in March 2013, but the peace process appeared to stall in September after the Kurdish rebels announced they were suspending their retreat from Turkish soil, accusing the government of failing to deliver on promised reforms.
The PKK, which is blacklisted as a terrorist organization by Turkey and much of the international community, launched an insurgency seeking self-rule in the southeast in 1984 that claimed about 45,000 lives.
