There is a move in Russia to prosecute Mr. Gorbachav for his treasonous actions in the fall of the USSR. If it can be ‘proven’ that the USSR was betrayed, it will go far in justifying Mr. Putin’s actions in restoring the cold war boundaries with the Russian people.Scary stuff neighbors. Respectfully,C.
and with the USA suffering under an elected anti-American president, working day by day to “change” our system, Putin knows he will get away with land-grabs to “restore the Empire”…..because our Isolationist president also has changed our foreign policy to aid for enemies and opposition to friends and NO leadership to act to solve international problems.
Always good to hear from you, Michael.As you stated parenthetically, Gorbachev is being blamed for the downfall of the USSR. One wonders how far Mr. Putin is willing to go to restore the USSR to his vision of its one time greatness.The situation is not helped by the fact that, like in the USA, there are very large divides between the two sides in the Ukraine and one side is more willing to take the nation down if they get what they want, that is to say, to be unified with Russia.When people are poor, ignorant, and desperate, they will often make decisions that they later learn were not in their best interests.Thank you for your many well stated comments, especially the ones where your subtlety is in the forefront.Sincerely,C.
Interesting to see Obama talking a lot about additional sanctions when virtually no original sanctions have been imposed. Watch as WW 3 begins because liberal America does nothing.
