Your in the Navy Now: Russyan Navy, That Is

       So, Black Sea, south eastern Europe, Ukraine, Kazakstan, and don't forget Ukrainian Crimea.  Old Mad Vlad, aka VoVa, has given the green light(Go) to the Russyan Navy to absorb a few Ukrainian vessels in the Black Sea.  Sounds like the old Revolutionary times in the Atlantic Ocean when those nasty British sailors would board a US merchant ship and impress the crew into the Royal Navy: not a fun transition.  Imagine: you're sailing along in the Black Sea and your vessel is approached by a Putin Ship flying the 3 stripes of the Russky Federation, aka Putin's Navy, and ordered to stop or be blown out of the water by force.  Next step, you are taken prisoner by a bunch of Russyan thugs disguised as drunken sailors-well, not really disguised-they are all drunk as usual.  Now what?
       Messages sent, conditions noted, and Mr. Putin sends a message of sorts to his Bro, Trump in White House:  "Your move!".   What will Trump do?  He'll tell Angela Merkel not to sit next to Putin at the G-20 Summit tomorrow, and that taking Navy ships by force is bad for the price of oil in the Middle East.  Perhaps it will enhance Putin's stature among his homies in St. Petersburg and Moscova?  Or maybe Vladivostok, or Beijing, or Ankara.
     The Ukraine government has declared martial law, and has put troops on alert against another Russyan tactical move in the area of the Donbass region and Crimea.  Have you seen the new bridge that was built connecting Crimea to mainland?  Pretty.  Moscova must have money to burn.  But wait: aren't Russyans in the streets bad mouthing Kremlin moves that aggravate the West and cause more sanctions to be heaped upon  the populace?  Why, yes.
     Ahh, VoVa, after 19 years of your dictatorship, folks have had enough.  Next you will see the "yellow vests" come out of the packets and the new Russyan winter landscape will start to  look like an alpine photo with quaking aspens in the foreground.  Maybe new elections will be held sometime soon: 2040 or 2050.
    Can't wait.   Bill Browder can't wait either.
