Ukraine III

I knew you wouldn't let us down Vlad; that phony pretext of Russian's being threatened by Ukrainian mobs is straight out of Hitler 101. Or is it Stalin 101, maybe it's just despot 101. No real difference evil is evil anyway you slice it. The country Vlad, the way you slice the country.

Donetsk, Kharkiv... where exactly will you draw the new boundary? So exciting, sitting in the Kremlin redrawing maps at your whim. What it must be like to play king... with so many inconsequential serfs to grind to dust.

So what's your next genius move? Cut off gas to the western portion of Ukraine? Can't do that, unless you want to cut off your cash cow in the rest of Europe; you know that growing list of nations lining up to sanction you and your capos. Yes the same countries who have been supporting your regime through the trade of stolen Yukos natural gas; those same countries are looking like they may finally nut up and face you down.

Today the list of economic and political sanctions at the disposal of your trading partners far surpass those at the hands of 1930's Europe, and perhaps these same countries will finally exhibit a proactive will to prevent further episodes of "Vladimir's Folly". Point is Vlad, you're treading on thin ice, your stock market is in freefall, the ruble rumbling down the slope of equity to it's lowest point in years. All the while, you fiddle while Kiev burns.

Rockin' the Ukraine

Oop's didn't see this coming... right? No everyone saw this coming. Anyone paying attention that is.
Poopin's on the move. Ukraine 2014 is beginning to resemble Germany 1945 about now, at least with regard to one country becoming two, split on an East West axis. Only difference being, the devastation of war that preceded Germany's partition, is still on the horizon. Closing as fast as a cruise missile.

Anybody foolish enough to believe, for even the briefest of moments, that Vlad would allow one of Russia's last vassel states to abandon his pirate ship, has clearly walked the plank of sanity.
Mr. Poopin's about to unleash his military in a way the Chechen's and the Georgian's experienced, but with far more brutality, and far greater manpower and resources.

Poopin has used with glee, and the precision of a wrecking ball, every tool in the box including but not limited to: threats, coersion, bribery, assassination; to gather new and return lost Soviet/Czarist influence and territory to the Russian fold. (Read: his personal fiefdom.) This direct affront to his authority will be suppressed, and done so with extreme prejudice.

Ukraine is the crown jewel of the empire after Mother Russia, has been since the 17th century.
If Vlad loses Ukraine on his watch, what will his ultra nationalist facsist friends think of him, or
his ability to withstand a putsch?

No, there's a great deal more at stake here than just Ukraine walking. Vlad's very grip on power, like the grip on his penis, is tight. The question is how long can he take the pressure?
Russian citizen patriot you're now in a free fire zone, and Vlad's a dead man walking target.
Do your duty, before millions suffer for the ego of a troll.
