Crimea: The Real Russyan Aftermath

    So, Crimeans have had about 6 months now as part of Mother Russya.  How's the marriage working out?  Not so good, it seems.  Especially if: you had funds in a large successful bank; if you had anything to do with a successful business; if you operated a large hotel or resort in a nice location; or you didn't look right to some people.
    It seems to locals that Moscow has sent the Kleptocrats to Crimea to ransom a few assets that really belong to the State.   Now if there is some dispute, it will be settled in a court of law.  Now where would we find a court of law in Russya?  Ask a lawyer.  Some Crimean lawyers have been trying to find out who is in charge of these take overs.  No luck.  One day, strangers enter, tell you to leave, make threatening gestures and you 're history.
     Some locals are calling Crimea " Putinastan".  or "Rasputinistan".  Or maybe Kleptanistan.  That has a nice ring to it: Kleptanistan.   Soon, it will apply to the Donbass Region of Ukraine.  When the locals who favored a marriage with Russya wake up and find their dreams come true, they'll realize the dream is, in fact, a nightmare: the little bald-headed KGB  martinet is their new boss and he wants everything they own.   Hmmm.  Maybe they should join the EU.  or ISIS.  Or Assad in Syria.  Join anything but the Kleptomaniacs running Russya.
     Price of oil: still going down.
