Agreed. But maybe Putin is trying to rebuild the older - and better - empire:
So, Putin was shaken by the threat of terrorism, reverted to what he knows, and decided the best way to confront the expansion of Islamic terrorism is to revive the old Soviet Block?
Worthy of consideration.
He's still dead wrong to attempt to steal Ukraine's election, and wrong to operate under the assumption the Empire would be more successful in its second trial run than it was in original form. Communism is not the answer. Setting up a puppet government through fraud is not the answer.
Promoting freedom in oppressed countries, liberalizing Islam, and fighting these murderers through military might, increased education at home, and the expansion of a culture that promotes the value of life is the answer.
i agree with you, putin could open trade, and quite honestly i had some faith and hope in russian-ukrainian relations. but when putin started meddling in this election, all that faith goes out the window.
apperantly putin not only supports but heavily funded the yanukovich.
it sure would've been smart for ukraine to bar such involvement and to come up with bette election laws, like an electoral college. instead ukraine has herself in a pickle.
