Another Obama success story.
Nothing Russia does is less than the U.S. does, and nothing the U.S. does is less than Russia.
Ever had a brown bear in the back seat of your car? Not that you need to, but did you ever? That’s a minor example of what the Russians do when they need to do.
Surprisingly, Ukies need to do what’s good for them too. They are inept, EU won’t help them any more, and we shouldn’t jig up the Ukies any more - it’ll only work to their detriment.
Clancy’s last (real) book presented a real President stopping the Russian aggression in Ukraine.
Too bad we live in the real world where Presidents have no character.
Russia has given a blogger 5 years for youtube clips, some just over protests of the local busline.

Russia is also prosecuting a librarian who had some book by a possibly controversial Ukrainian author:

In other words, people are being prosecuted for thought crimes.
Those aren’t “rebels” those are Russian regulars, particularly Spetsnaz special forces. The Ukrainian army is not properly trained or logistically supported by the Poroshenko government. Lots of good Ukrainian kids killed due to corruption and bad leadership. Somewhere Ivan Mazepa weeps.
Russia has way more risk than other European countries of going Islamic. So, the big bravado by the Putinistas.
Its the climate that is the number one problem. Remember that!!!
They need a copy editor to check the facts before they go to press:
” More than 9,000 people have died since the spring of 2014 after Russia-backed rebels began fighting Kiev for independence,”
should read:
More than 9,000 people have died since the spring of 2014 after Western backed rebels overthrew the legitimate Kiev government,”
Niiiiiiiiiice
