Right now I have to wonder what else is going on behind the scenes in the Kremlin. May 9 is coming. A significant date for Russia - to celebrate their innocence by basking on being on the "winning side" after Germany tore up their "non-aggression pact" in 1939-1941 when Russia did a lot of killing in the same part of the world they're at…
Right now I have to wonder what else is going on behind the scenes in the Kremlin. May 9 is coming. A significant date for Russia - to celebrate their innocence by basking on being on the "winning side" after Germany tore up their "non-aggression pact" in 1939-1941 when Russia did a lot of killing in the same part of the world they're attacking now. But, May 9, a great day to celebrate innocence. And the only way to do that is to smash Ukraine. Russia has sent the US a diplomatic note. It is not unlike what may have been received when we were sending materiel to Britain when they were being bombed nightly by the German air force, and when there was threat of invasion. Putin got his war going because of something he was intent on hiding in some way or other and he thought Ukraine would roll over. Too bad we did not hit him as hard in 2014. Or actually in 2008. Plenty of second guessing going on now but the bottom line I think is this: you cannot create peace out of capitalism that runs amok smashing culture and mores right and left. And that is what has happened since the fall of communism, IMHO. A few people in Russia, with Putin at the helm, took the country over economically, lock, stock and barrel and that is why now allied nations are taking huge yachts into custody! Not to mention lots of money. In the meantime, Putin is himself the richest man in the world - I read an article that states his wealth is at least 900 B dollars! The only way to keep it all is to crush opponents to stay in power. He needed this war. So he is not going to go quietly. He's going to take others with him. Let's hope the alliance can stop him before he pushes the button.

Turns out John McCain was right back in 2008 and Rmoney in 2012 about the Putin threat.
