Mr. Putin: Welcome Back to St. Petersburg

      So, a Russyan citizen blows himself up on a subway train.  Sadly, he murdered 14 innocent people while making his final statement of his miserable life.   Turns out, he was a 22 year old former immigrant from Kyrghistan, a former Soviet republic.  Video cameras in the subway station have photos of him walking on the boarding platform.   Investigators also found DNA evidence on another bomb that was defused before detonation.   Good work, there.
      All of this mayhem happened to coincide with a visit to the city by Russyan President Vladimir Putin.  He has a close relationship with this city, going back to his days as a young officer in the KGB when he served under the mayor of the city as his security advisor and Federal Security contact.  No organization has stepped forward to claim responsibility, but the event also coincides with a bombing in Syria by regime airplanes that delivered poison gas munitions that killed an estimated 200+ civilians, including many children.   Russyan military spokesman denied any use of such material.
     This is not the first time that Russyan civilians have been targeted by militant terrorists with Islamist connections.   The list is growing longer.
     Perhaps Mr. Putin will tighten control; perhaps he will not.  Perhaps he will give up activity in Ukraine; perhaps he will not.  Perhaps he will give up Crimea; perhaps he will not.   Perhaps he will  deploy more missiles in Europe; perhaps he will not.  Perhaps he will accept a million refugees from Turkey and Syria;  perhaps he will not.
      Have a nice day.
