Russia will end this—and end it quick. Ukraine will be forced to sign a new treaty with Putin—who will lead a victory parade in Moscow. Land for Peace—or we could call it a Piece Treaty—Russia gets a piece of Eastern Ukraine—The “Civil War” stops and maybe things will go back to normal—or what passes for normal in that part of the world. Maybe—when this is done with we can meet with Putin and work out a plan to rip the Islamic State to pieces. Glad to see the Russian Press talking about this—there is a bit of freedom left in Russia after all.
LOL !
I wouldn’t be too sure. I suspect that the Russians are going to find that this isn’t going to be as easy as they think. Their historic cruelties to their neighbors are going to be seen through a different set of eyes than those who see Putin as a swell guy. For the neighbors of Russia, Putin’s cruelty and chauvinism are all too familiar.
