A turning point ?

the raw truth about Ukraine, it's really way too much for the average American to absorb, and it's a lot for the average riders of the Soviet Era Metro system of Kiev to think about, Not that average Americans cannot think about relatively average things these days, but we have many issues to sort out amongst our selves.
The issues around the War in Ukraine with Russia , they are in my mind, like a splinter of old, dark wood, gone into the finger of every person on each side of the conflict. It can fester and become infected, and there is still no real good reason for it to not get taken out. Yes I know the verbiage that "Our children's children will not forget this " 
 It is a tug of War between East and West. French Intelligence is clearly working up a sophisticated, Tres Fashionable dossier,  on the Trump/ Putin summit in Paris (now that's all changing, since it can't happen very conveniently, but ditching a much hyped meeting with the Russian President in Paris, that's actually pretty awkward in the Russian culture, and in Ukraine's culture as well.
Looking forward  at the G20 meeting in Buenos Aires ) I think that the tag line from the G-20 summit in Argentina is going to be   " Donde esta el cauderno del Presidente Trump ? "
I think that he will go into the postulated one on one meeting and do something equivalent to leaving his notebook behind, yet this is not to be hypothetically critical, it's a well known tactic to leave your cards on the table.

Yet if Trump is going to Tango with Putin in Argentina, who will be the lead? Whaat is the price of a dance card with the Russian President , that politically clever person who rules that large Federation in a supreme and apparently unquestionable manner. Trump can never openly admit that,  while he didn't totally make his presidency, it certainly tipped the scales, allowing him to win the electoral college,  and it's still looking like a  stupendous feat of media manipulation and national Politics engineering.

Vladimir, his alleged birthday did  slide by,  on October 7,  without so much as a peep from the Western Press. Mister Putin's issues are complex. He is culpable of acting out,  in the crisis of Ukraine starting in late 2013. He made his terms clear in early 2013. These 5 year plans of the Soviet Union don't go away. What will be done, does, or will  get done,  is hard to say. The Minsk Accords are now
sort of a joke, just another way for my buddy Lukashenko (And I do mean that loosely,) to make money renting expensive Hotel rooms in Minsk, Belarus. Mister Poroshenko, one has to appreciate the mindset of normal people in Ukraine, maybe he's not the best, but he has his own money, and he wants to look good in History, Ukraine is tired of corrupt leaders, scheming people, they are likely to reelect him next year, despite the volume of his challenges in the narrative. I haven't met the man, so I suspend any personal judgement about him, although friends of mine,  do know him. There can be surprises and after all, who wants that job? After the types of war and revolution Ukraine experienced , they are bound to be more comfortable with stability in leadership. But is my friend Nadia Savchenko going to get sprung from jail in Ukraine before she gets shanked, or something like that ? 
Honestly, I worry about her. She did drank lots of the Russian Kool Aid (My intentional bad English)
She has an honest chance to ensure President Poroshenko's reelection, or to wreck his chances, and the Devil, or Heaven lies in the details of the situation.
 Nadia could lead, or defuse the charge to make Ukraine a Nuclear capable state once more, things like that. I don't think that I am crazy, but you'd have to ask my friends in Ukraine what they think of me. I think weird things were maybe  going down, in Ukraine at the woodpecker array,  before the Chernobyl disaster, complicated parameters on physics and electronic engineering relating to geophysical spaces, but that is another project I am working out in my mind,  within the realm of dystopian  fiction, although it relates to actual experience that I had , within the exclusion zone: something  relating to a paranormal manifestation I experienced on the darkest, longest night of 2011, or 2012 within the zone of exclusion .
Russia has all this land that spans 6 or 7 time zones, what did they need to take Eastern Ukraine, Crimean territory from Ukraine ? They have all the oil and gas for this century that they need , Crimean Oil and gas is probably expensive to extract , and it would probably need Western Technology to be efficiently extracted.
I had mentioned it before, in my blog that miner's strikes actions in Donetsk had been part of the downfall of Soviet Union, this is a historical fact. The Communist party elites were milking the system back then, and eventually, it came back to haunt them.  Yet that was intelligence filtration, and the survivors are smart, despite all the smart Ukrainian people who were sent to die in Gulags, living under forced labor conditions.

they built factories and did some things in Ukraine back then, but now, this is old industry. Still relevant, yet getting older every day. It isn't absurd that the war went this long, it isn't unthinkable that despite Ukraine's forces getting closer to the "Orcs" (as they call the terrorists within their territory, that they could go on strike, stage a wildcat worker's strike, walkout for better warfare conditions. We see this, with Musicians, soldiers, politicians, artists, intellectuals. People walk off the job, when the circumstance becomes untenable. When every place that they turn seems to ____ their mind.
Jagged jigsaw pieces
Tossed about the room
I saw my grandma sweeping
With her old straw broom
She didn't know what she was doing
She could hardly understand
That she was really sweeping up..
Pieces of a man

I saw my daddy greet the mailman
And I heard the mailman say
"Now don't you take this letter to heart now Jimmy
Cause they've laid off nine others today"
He didn't know what he was saying
He could hardly understand
That he was only talking to
Pieces of a man

I saw the thunder and heard the lightning!
And felt the burden of his shame
And for some unknown reason
He never turned my way

Pieces of that letter
Were tossed about that room
And now I hear the sound of sirens
Come knifing through the gloom
They don't know what they are doing
They could hardly understand
That they're only arresting
Pieces of a man

I saw him go to pieces
I saw him go to pieces
He was always such a good man
He was always such a strong man
Yeah, I saw him go to pieces
I saw him go to pieces

  1. the pond is shrinking, the fish are nervous: Essentially , Ukraine is a big Nation, with big rivers traversing it's length. How we should deal with the largest territory within the European landscape is anybody's guess. My take on it, is that it will keep, keeping on, more or less, and that it's narrative is more big, and not so more easy than most people tend to realize about it
