Four people who climbed a Moscow skyscraper on Wednesday and attached a Ukrainian flag to its spire have been charged with vandalism by Russian police and may face three years in jail.

The protesters also managed to paint half a massive yellow star at the top of the spire with blue paint, so it resembled the yellow-and-blue national colors of Ukraine.

Across the former Soviet Union that Putin wants to restore, more, and more patriots are mocking the Soviet/Putin/Born Again statist shrines. I applaud. Let the fools treat the symbols of the Soviet/Putin state as an icon. Let the putinistas whine.

Somebody once posted these great photos of Putin scuba diving and coming up out of the water with some antiquities. It was a hoot! I don’t know if he wrestled a shark while he was down there or not, but he is such a goofy narcissist. Obama is an earnest one. Putin is like Mussolini.

This don’t paint Putin as a New Hitler—ready to invade anyone. If it was so—Russians would be in Keiv now—It was all propaganda from Ukraine. Putin didn’t play his hand well at all. More Mussolini than Hitler-—But a bit more like a Democrat than a dictator.
