March on Donbass

      Hear that sound? Those are the footsteps of Russyan troops on the move. They are moving from south Belarus to eastern Ukraine to ratchet up the fighting in the region. Pundits have explained what's going on: stymied in their efforts to capture Kyiv in the heart of Ukraine, the Kremlin shit-canned the commanding general of the force and replaced him with another vodka-swilling pin head from Syria experience to take over. Gen. Alexandr Dgonikov will be charged with breaking the stalemate that has existed here since 2014 when "little Green Men" marched into the region and demanded control. Generally, locals said OK, and didn't resist. Many were sympathetic toward these obvious Russyan soldiers. And then, things changed.

         The Kremlin began to impose certain rules-no more Ukrainian language; no more Ukrainian schools, and the Orthodox churches were to be under the thumb of the prelate chief in Moskva.  Hmmm. Not sure this is what we signed up for today. Then, Crimea was added to the mix. Sochi would now be an exclusive playground for Moskovites and St. Petersburgites. Maybe Little Ivan(aka Vova) 5'4" of dictator will come down with a gaggle of blonde hookers to frolic in the warm seas. Besides, the port is always open here as opposed to the White Sea and Murmansk. Then the Ukrainians built a dam up river and closed off the water supply which made living in Crimea a little dicey: water? Who needs it? Why, Russyans, of course, to wash down the vodka supplied by MOskva and the Kremlin. Trenches line the region now, with opposing armies trading artillery barrages off and on for these past 8 years. But things will soon change as the Kremlin needs a win. A win will make things better for Putin and his oligarchs. We'll bomb then into the stone age, or so the chant goes. Hmmmm. Seems the Ukrainian military has become quite adept at antiaircraft ops with stingers and other arms. (recall Afghanistan). Where will it end and when will it end? No one is predicting the answer. We know it will end as Ivan, like his American counterpart, tires after years in the field. The trooper has an end date stamped on his soul.

       Brace yourselves for more photos of heart-wrenching scenes that demonstrate the inhumanity of Russyan troops and Kremlin policies. They will be made to pay a price, long term for their acts. To start with: a ban on international travel for ALL Russyans; a ban on ALL Russyan foreign investment; a ban on ALL international student training abroad, including the USA and the EU; a 10 year moratorium on visas to any Russyan, and a complete rejection of the ruble in all commerce. That's a good start.
