You have to understand three things about Putin and the Former USSR:
1. The Collapse of the USSR was staged, or at least planned
2. The Russians always had a contingency plan for what is happening now in Ukraine, if they lost control of key posts in the government.
3. Russia had always planned on putting back together the USSR at a later date of their choosing. The events in Ukraine this time were such that violent force is required to bring it back into the fold of the USSR, similar to the Hungarian revolt of 1956.
Reasons that this is true:
1. All the communist parties are backing Russia on this.
2. International ANSWER and other antiwar groups are backing Russia
3. Obama’s feckless, inept, and irresponsible response to this crisis borders on treason.
4. Russia’s management of their allies, telling them to keep their distance until the time is right (Eg China and Belarus).
Russia is pursuing Great Power goals - Communism is dead as an ideology but Russian nationalism is very much alive. There is a sense that Russia is different from the rootless and decadent West. Putin’s Russia is confident of its own strength that was never true of the late USSR. Russia is still the largest country in the world. And the West has never been able to really subdue it though both Napoleon and Hitler tried and failed.
And lots of FReepers are backing Putin too.
Whore of Babylon does not support representation of respective States but foreign ethny lobbyists. Eventually she rides the biggest and scariest donor, Russia itself, who will decapitate her and enslave exile back in chain the lucky ones like in the days of the Great Exile.
Whorish globalist collonization is coming to its fiery end.
