It looks like Putin is showing his usual Machiavellian tendencies -- even massive vote fraud is completely acceptable as long as the elitists maintain a lock on Power in the Ukraine.

That this former KGB operative thinks like America's left should be no surprise, but it is a disappointment.

I usually pride myself on understanding most things in the news. I've seen this and other stories on the Ukraine the past few days and, I guess, I just don't understand this one. Will somebody put it in a nutshell for me, so I can follow this one with a degree of understanding?

I'm sure it is simpler than I know at this points.

Thanks in advance.

Kind of like when the Soviet general secretary would congratulate any new leader of a country behind the iron curtain.

Just another step in the return of the Evil Empire!!
