Trouble in Kiev, Again

    This time, the trouble began during an assassination attempt that ha an unusual ending, of sorts.  The assassin was wounded by his two victims.  Both the targets were slightly wounded but escaped with their lives after minimum hospital treatments.  The assassin, meanwhile, is still hospitalized.  he'll be facing intense questioning when healthy enough to do so.  Hmmm.  What questions will asked of this well known individual:  (1) who sent you, (2) why were these two targets selected, (3) how much were you paid, (4) are you stupid, (5) where did you learn French, (6) who will pay your legal fees(7) are you a friend of Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin, (8) etc.
      The story is something a gifted writer would have trouble putting together:  a French newspaper reporter befriends a couple who live in Kiev.   They are known vocal opponents of the Kremlin and all things Putin/Kremlin.   Now the time comes to activate the assassination: but wait, one of the targets has a gun, bigger than your gun and knows how to shoot it.  You, the professional hitman, get whacked yourself.  Oh, my.  Can this really be happening? 
      Such is life in Kiev.   It really is a wild frontier these days.  People running around claiming not to be Russyan, but just a Finn who has lost their way.   My. my.  Not easy to get around in the DonBass region in eastern Ukraine.   All these uniformed soldiers making outrageous claims.  Oh, for a little peace and quiet.  Why Crimea?  Why the DonBass?  Why SYria?   Why did they have to shoot down an unarmed Dutch passenger aircraft?   Hmmm.  Maybe we'll find out the answer to that one during Oliver Stone's interview(s) with Mr. Vladimir Putin.   Not easy being Putin.  Or actually, not easy being an opponent of Putin.
