The Crimean population voted in a referendum to stay with the Ukraine.

More than 20 years ago. Another vote was scheduled before Soros staged a coup.

Putin the former KGB head in the USSR.

Now that's just false. He rose to the rank of Lt. Col. in the KGB. His highest position was station chief in Dresden; after returning from Germany he kept tabs on students and faculty at his Alma Mater.

Quick question - are you getting paid overtime for your work here today?

Benghazi should have made every “US ally” in the world very nervous. And now the Ukraine should be causing increased pucker factor all along the Warsaw Pact. If Russia can waltz into one nation, what is Bulgaria’s security? Czech’s? etc.

That pic looks odd - not sure if fake or not, but something seems off in it (I’m not talking about the subject matter). Maybe it seems odd because things that (seemingly) should be out of focus, aren’t.

Merkel does not wish to send the Bundeswehr into the Huertgen Forest to chop it down so its wood can make up for the NG Putin will not be sending them if Germany does not play ball.Now if we had gone big for fracking we could make a fortune selling LNG to our European Allies //sarc.

Really good article. I appreciate your posting it. It shows that Putin was another who rose to the top in Russia through unbridled ruthlessness.

That is no surprise at all. But ruthless men did not have to come from the KGB. They were everywhere, and the most ruthless rose to the top.

Recent developments make the Winter Olympics in Sochi seem like ages ago.

The 2014 Paralympics (aka Special Olympics) start this Friday in Sochi (as of now).

Obama isn’t even sitting at the table.

He is doing his downsizing of America and pushing the gay/lesbian/transgender agendas.

So basically saying that the 2014 Sochi Olympics was little more than Berlin in 1936?

Complete with aspiring dictators for both?

deporting large numbers while bringing in Russian settlers was a common tactic for the Soviets. The wanted to Russianize the whole USSR.

exterminating millions? The Holodomor counts (estimates range from 2.4< to more than 7M) I guess, as would all those sent to gulags and stuff
