A fascinating read. I was unaware of most of this. It does nothing to persuade me from the thought that the EU and the USA were trying to undermine Putin’s influence in Ukraine and that is what kicked off these tensions. The great Bumbler in Chief seems to stuff up everything he puts his grubby little fingers on. He seems to have taken a personal dislike to Putin as Bambi looks pathetic in comparison. If their was a conservative currently in the White House I wonder if there would have been a far stronger bond in the efforts to rid the world of terrorism.
Yah, from this it sounds like Russia is actually Ukrainian. Instead of Little Russia, we’ve got Ukraine, and Big Dumb Ukraine.
Moscow should really subjugate themselves to Kiev.
But the bottom line in all this: Ukraine has 7 Million small arms. Happy Invading Ivan!
