Crimea is another story...I don’t think that will leave Russia’s control either.

Crimea has been controlled by Russia since the time of Catherine the Great. It provides warm water ports. Russia will give up the Crimea when we give up New Orleans.

Yep.....no doubt about it....they were very happy to return to Russia...the celebrations were spectacular! I made a point to look at it’s history. Quite a story about Catherine the Great too....no wonder they think so highly of her!

BTW...I remember as Putin's army began taking control of Crimea....our Military leaders were astounded as it went, and yes even impressed with how he pulled that off...but also glad because that ‘exposed’ Putin's capability as well.

The greatest advantage Putin's Military Commanders had was they knew how to stop and prevent ‘all’ Kiev's Military communications...and did so. It was pretty much sooth sailing for that. The entire strategy was brilliant, as they said. Furthermore most of the population was on board once they understood was was happening.

It was exciting being on the web then and seeing how Military people were viewing that because they weren't looking at it thru the eyes of politics...but of Military maneuver's.
