If today, you just came back from a year long vacation in a country without papers, internet access or TV, had no idea what happened in Syria, and was unaware of the back-and-forth struggle to get Ukraine to align with the EU ... Woke up today for the first day back in civilization, opened the papers, and see that Putin was mobilizing forces ... then I guess yes, my whole argument is a "pile of bullshit" and the guy who is mobilizing forces must be the "aggressor." And I'm obviously a sucker for propaganda. Tin foil hats and all. I guess we have short memories - it wasn't too long ago that the US fooled itself by going into war in part based on the crack reportage out of the New York times, courtesy of Judy Miller.

So, yes, by all means call me crazy for trying to piece together what might actually be going on here.
