Russya Sends a Missile East

        Geography is exemplified by expansive areas and intrinsic physical characteristics found in each. Academics love to categorize these characteristics to unify a theory. Happens all the time, and with the aid of computers and modern GIS, the results can open up new ideas relative to an area. Enough. The Kremlin fired a large missile Tuesday from the Ural Mountain region that impacted a target on the remote Kamchatka Peninsula on the Pacific Coast(north of Vladivostok). It was publicized worldwide, indicating Mad Vlad is coming unglued, as are the rest of the population of the largest country in the world. Seems incredulous that the 5'4" pipsqueak wants more land, sort of the wish  for more gold by King Midas(was he Russyan?). We know what happened to him! So, the Pipsqueak Dictator, sitting in the bowels of the Kremlin, isolated from everybody and everything, decides that the West needs another lesson in geopolitics. "Send another missile east", says Vlad. And off it goes, fired by Moskva Cpace Command. It's a large ICBM, perhaps with multiple warhead capability. Oh, Vlad, it's so yesterday. Did you forget that the West lived through the Cold War when nuclear annihilation was a daily threat? 

       Now we must acknowledge that the Russyan peoples are complicit in this policy of "grab as much land as possible". They must be held accountable and made to pay for the ruination of an adjacent sovereign nation. What would Russya do if Xi JP decided that the eastern seaboard of Russya, the Pacific Coast oblads, were really part of China and those Chinese living there wanted to be part of China? Hmmmm. Would the Pipsqueak feel differently toward China? Would he ask the West for some help? Or would he rollover and keep drawing from his supply of homemade vodka?

More Vodka Please

     And his vaunted ground army is stuck around Mariupol at the Sea of Azov(Sea?Please). They've been held in check by Ukrainian forces who remain active in the now ruins of the steel plant there. The new general does not have the resources to mass an attack and slaughter with the few units he has to operate in the theater.  He'd make a poor leader back during "The Great Patriotic War".
