Ukraine Starting Over

Crimea and Eastern Ukraine become , have been made into a set of blocking points for the reconstruction of Ukraine. We all hope for a Ukraine free of corruption, easy to do business with, something like a fantasy land, which it will never be. But the spirit for cohesive reform is there, if those darn Jesuits will stop making sense  https://youtu.be/87VRx9IQYqw I haven't had mulled wine with  them yet, but  maybe the truth has to be out there !  It is still possible that ROBERT DeNiro, MARTIN Scorcese and Leonardo DiCaprio will team up to  do a Nadia Savchenko Biopic on her Aidar Battalion's pandemic excursions in the war zones of Eastern Ukraine, but who will play she ?  Now that she is no longer thought to be trustworthy knowing  state secrets, maybe she will go for the big money in Hollywood ? a SUBPLOT of Papal conspiracy is always an easy point of conjecture. I have had a much better than average glimpse of Russia's "red Book" on it's acti...

So, let me get this straight, mostly upper class, upper middle class, and working class white people elected Mister Trump, in the hopes that their situation would improve under his presidency. Trump admires Mister Putin for being a "strong man" Putin handles dissent, like the dog catcher handles loose dogs.  Now as much as I admire Ed Snowden, if I was he, I'd be getting nervous every time I see a snow plow approaching me on Moscow's chilly winter streets. I watched his fascinating interview with Katie Couric, and he's quite deftly eloquent and unabashed. It's not for me to pass judgement , one way or the other about what he did. He simply pointed out the obvious, with some minor details included.  Ed comes across Like a public relations guy for personal freedoms,  the Iran-Contra affair  was quite likely a vastly more egregious violation of the rule of law, and yet Oliver North got a minor slap on the wrist, recently he enjoyed the Army Navy game...

\ \it's clear that Russia will offer to the Trump people the keys to the kingdom,  as they see it. The keys will come with a price, and that price will be morally and politically impossible. At one time, the Russians held the keys to our kingdom in USA, they had deeply embedded moles in the Naval signal corps, they had the dope on Trident submarine patrol schedules and locations, yet for them, the cost was too high, even during "Iron Yuri Andropov times" well, it remains to be seen,  if Donald Trump can administer his initiatives out of a paper bag. I cannot even vaguely imagine a Trump administration "charm offensive " in Ukraine. for sure our nation, from California to Rhode Island is perhaps headed towards a guttural, chaotic, discordant unrest. As we quickly learn, how radically our elections were tampered with. How naive and second grade the DNC was about it's security. how rancorous and insensitive the RNC was about taking hard core tactical...

I hear that Nadia Savchenko and Madame Tymoshenko's party have dissolved their working relationship over Nadia's visit to Minsk , ostensibly to discuss further prisoner releases. Yes, I am slightly afraid , as a follower of her, knowing her ,  I do understand the view that Nadia has become a tool for the Kremlin's stealth policy to legitimize the conflict as a civil war, rather than a thinly veiled open war. We don't have, couldn't truly imagine such a paradox as Nadia in our culture of the USA, we have not been through what Ukraine is experiencing, other than perhaps our times during the colonial war against England, but that time was also different, the British lines of supply depended on lengthy, somewhat risk sea transport. Russia is simply driving all their hard core military hardware onto Ukraine along the breached Eastern borders.  With Crimea , it didn't take more than a couple of  shiploads of gear to prepare the stockpiles of weapons and unifo...
