    In stark contrast to Time Magazine, NPR has been covering these events with the most miserable anti-Russian slant and egregious errors. For example, around 17:30 PST 8/13/2008, the host of the program I was listening to, who was trying to incite world war III, pressuring his guest, a Ukrainian chap by the name of Kulik (vsyak kulik svoyo boloto khvalit), to admit that Ukraine was somehow "next", charged that the Black Sea fleet was moored in Ukraine, in Yalta. It was never Yalta, it was Sevastopl' and, for the past few years, it has been Novorossisk, which is in Russia, but how many listeners actually discern things like this? Probably just a handful who actually have been to Novorossisk to look at the new facilities. Shame on NPR.

    the fleet is still based in Ukraine.
    Regarding Novorossiysk the new facilities were in project, but at today's date all the "efforts" are on the updating of the commerical port with new equipment as heavy cranes.
    For information mid-july 3 Nato vessels came to the port (German,Turkish, Greek) even the local navy fanfare came to welcome them as they use to do for all guests.

    Russia should renew old alliances by any means if they do not want the US to encircle them.
    Every country that has Russian nukes should be under Moscow's wing. It's their only hope.

    I think that the breakaway nations should stay broken away. Russia just wants to be the big, bad bully in the region. I think they are still ticked off.. because they are no longer the Soviet Union.
