At this time Russian troops and heavy artillery are moving into place along the Ukrainian border and into Crimea. Paul Craig Roberts has been warning about this situation for a while. Both Ukraine and Taiwan are considered “flashpoints” that could easily escalate to a “hot” war with Russia and China, respectively. Of course, not a word appeared in the “mainstream” media.
