Thanks for those links Cindy. And your help and info about Russia and such as well Granny! I will definitely look into these.
I don't trust Russia for a second - I think some there (Putin included) are just biding their time waiting for an opportunity to fulfill their old goal of domination... There were shades of the "old country" throughout the Ukraine elections last year as well.
Too many players in this "game", and people "cheating" in regards to entangling alliances. Makes it hard to see through to figure out how to stop it all really. I certainly feel for those honest, good-hearted people working in security agencies throughout the world, can't imagine how they do it! (o:
You're welcome.
