The Beautiful Ukraine !

Indeed, congratulations to the new President of Ukraine, I remember him as a person who can ask a basic question, and pause for a moment, to construct a formulaic thought that's funny. I'd hope that I get a second and third opportunity to meet him, to have some chance to return the favor of his humorous thought about me, to make some funny statement about his Presidency,  "So you like the shape and feel of that Bulawa (The Presidential Ceremonial Mace) in your hand ? The most serious issue of the day, is clearly about the continued reformation of civil society, and resolving the conflict in the East. There are many leverage generating tools available for Ukraine , and he appears to understand their overall nature, such as increasing sanctions, improving defense related technology.  I did sense back then, that this interesting man I met at the bottom of the steps (future President to be Zelinskiy)  was a truly and thoughtful person. I try to think of myself as a true

Well it's late my time on the Left Coast of USA, and through the rain upon the trees that kisses on the run. I know what it always has been, a transparent dream beneath an occasional sigh now I wish it hadn't begun.

some snitty Petroleum industry page, that appears to callously denigrate Ukraine (in a random yet purposeful comment) and essentially outline the back door path to legitimize the land and sea grab of Occupied Crimea. I don't actually have the math on the land area of Crimean "Peninsula" and the offshore sea area now claimed by the  Russian  Federation. I tend to get few comments here, while I like it that it's more easy for me, what is the actual "Sea Area" of the Crimean territory taken by the Russian Federation, or re-appropriated, whatever you might prefer to phrase it as. Yet now with USA going into a potential military conflict in Venezuela against  Russia , It's not a Pig of Bays again ? https://www.petroleum-economist.com/articles/politics-economics/europe-eurasia/2018/petrel-views-crimean-gas-export-opportunity Perhaps it is incorrect, yet I would like to copy paste this interesting (translated) perspective on the Russian Energy mark
