Homestead forum diaspora

The news is bombarded with propaganda from all sides about Russia's invasion od Crimea. Some like it to the US invasion of Iraq. Some say Putin is building his power base even stronger. Some say it is all about energy/oil-natural gas......O'Reily says Israel is going to bomb IRAN over this. Any ideas from the shooting gallery here.....By the way glad to see the forum still exists.....there are some very insightful comments posted here.
