CNN is spinning the news again - for those who disagreed with me when i said from day 1 that Putins reaction to this whole crisis is indeed adequate - READ THIS! (CNN) -- All the self-righteous huffing and puffing in Washington over Ukraine jars on European and especially Russian ears after the multiple U.S.-led invasions and interventions in other peoples countries of recent years. Its difficult to say what is more astonishing: the double standards exhibited by the White House, or the apparent total lack of self-awareness of U.S. officials. It is Obama, following in Bushs footsteps, who has repeatedly and cynically flouted international law by launching or backing myriad armed attacks on foreign soil, in Libya, Somalia, Yemen and Pakistan to name a few, without U.N. security council authorization. It is Obamas administration which continues to undermine international law by refusing to join or recognize the International Criminal Court, the most important instrument of international justice to have been developed since 1945. And it is Obamas State Department, principally in the person of Assistant Secretary of State Victoria Nuland, that fatally overplayed its hand in the run-up to last months second Ukraine revolution. Nulands infamous f**k the EU comment revealed the extent to which Washington was recklessly maneuvering to undermine Ukraines elected pro-Russian president, Viktor Yanukovych, by backing the Kiev street protesters demands.
