Another Day, Another $678 Million Stealth Jet Wrecked

This is where our money goes. We don't have money to feed kids, educate them, or run public libraries. But another 100 million for a new weapon… sure, no problem.

Tatars comprise 12% of Crimean population, and they are are real badasses with a lot of jihadis, and will be a major component in a volatile mix over there.

Russia “Puzzled” Over Malaysia Airlines “Capture” By US Navy
By: Sorcha Faal, and as reported to her Western Subscribers
A new report circulating in the Kremlin today prepared by the Main Intelligence Directorate of the General Staff of the Armed Forces (GRU) states that Aerospace Defence Forces (VKO) experts remain “puzzled” as to why the United States Navy “captured and then diverted” a Malaysia Airlines civilian aircraft from its intended flight-path to their vast and highly-secretive Indian Ocean base located on the Diego Garcia atoll.
I find it difficult to judge. It is interesting to read the comments by various ‘ anonymous' people. Much of the confusion seems to be related to a bad translation of Ukrainian to English. There is a tremendous information war going on. Today Kerry and Merkel have stepped up the pressure by giving very strong and threatening statements. Yatsenyuk spoke at the UNSC. The first oligarch has been arrested abroad At the same time both sides are deploying and positing military forces. The situation is very tense and there are all kinds of shady paramilitary militia-like groups running round that could create incidents that could lead to unwanted escalation. I was surprised that we've seen not more incidents yet and that Ukrainians have been very calm and did not let themselves be provoked. We have to see what will happen tomorrow and how the West will respond. I am getting more and more worried that we are slowly moving to a military confrontation. A false flag could speed up developments. It all reminds me of the Balkan war in the 1990s. The EU and the West were very slow in their reactions and did not want to believe that a war was coming and hoped that diplomacy could solve the problems. Currently many politicians have stated that nobody wants war and that we have to let diplomacy do its work while nobody seems to see the military preparations.

UPDATE 16 Mar 14: Was Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 Redirected to Diego Garcia?
and also
UPDATE 15 Mar 14: Malaysia Airline MH370: 9/11-style terror allegations resurface in case of lost plane
UPDATE 14 Mar 14: CONFIRMED: Flight 370 Cyberjacked to secret base in Indian ocean – American or Chinese?
The story gets weirder and weirder as one looks at it. Goes beyond what is noted below in talking extensively about an AWACs jet hijack of 370, involvement of Israel and other things. Don't have the time to untangle this all, but the picture is becoming less cloudy and coming back full-circle in its reference to Israel and Iran in this AWACs-hijack context, and Israeli involvement was what I pointed out in my very first post on this subject.

Malaysian airlines flight 377 has been provably hijacked by an AWACS plane. This is outlined in the updates below.

Was a Harry Potter-Like Electronic “Cloak of Invisibility” Used on Flight 370 by Freescale Semiconductor Contractors?
It is conceivable that the Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370 plane is “cloaked,” hiding with hi-tech electronic warfare weaponry that exists and is used,’ Beforeitsnews.com wrote. ‘In fact, this type of technology is precisely the expertise of Freescale that has 20 employees on board the missing flight.’ ‘These were people with a lot of experience and technical background and they were very important people,’ Mr Mitch Haws, Global communications officer for the tech company, said. The company recently launched a major initiative dedicated to serving radio frequency power needs of U.S. aerospace and defence sector.”

America's $1 Trillion National Security Budget
by Winslow T. Wheeler
March 13, 2014
The Pentagon's current leadership and most on the House and Senate Armed Services Committees in Congress describe President Obama's 2015 defense budget request as painfully austere, if not dangerously inadequate. The defense trade press is full of statements from generals, admirals and the other politicians from both political parties that there is not nearly enough money available to buy adequate amounts of new hardware, maintain current pay and benefits or provide even low amounts of training and equipment maintenance. As a result, they are looking for ways to relieve the Pentagon from its penury.
Scarcity of money is not their problem. Pentagon costs, taken together with other known national security expenses for 2015, will exceed $1 Trillion. How can that be? The trade press is full of statements about the Pentagon's $495.6 billion budget and how low that is.
There is much more than $495.6 billion in the budget for the Pentagon, and there are piles of national security spending outside the Pentagon-all of it as elemental for national security as any new aircraft and ships and the morale and well-being of our troops.
The table below details what a careful observer will find in President Obama's 2015 budget presentation materials. The amounts for the Pentagon are well above the advertised $495.6 billion, and there are several non-Pentagon accounts that are clearly relevant.
