When America thinks of the White House occupant(s) today, what do they think? Calm, thoughtful deliberation? Temperate forethought? Round table discussions on every weighty problem? A steady stream of intellectual Nobel prize winners offering the opinions of genius? No, none of the above. They look, then turn away, promptly. It's too painful otherwise. And in Ukraine.
What up?
The nation had an election earlier this month, and, it ended with a surprise: a new face emerged on the national scene: a man, no less. A man without any political experience(sound familiar). But unlike his Peer in the USA, he is not a former business man- he's a comedian. Yes, it's true, not "fake news". The citizens voted for change: they wanted somebody new, different, un-corrupted. They wanted somebody who could, by some method, bring the country out of its malaise. They want a future untainted by the Russyan oligarchs who seem to pop up after every springtime shower, especially in the Donbass region of the East part of the country, taken over by little Green Men who speak the dictator's Russyan. Some might call this an invasion-it is. The USA considered it such and imposed sanctions on Russyan and many individuals. This backward nation, Russya, run now for over 20 years by former KGB colonel VoVa Putin, seems to have squandered its opportunity to join the nations of the world in promoting peace and prosperity. No, the little colonel wants to turn back the clock and revive ancient history, the history of Stalin and his henchmen. But the future is here, and there's no going back. Russya has only to look south and see its Asian neighbor as it streaks ahead. As the population of Russya continues to shrink, and the citizens drown their sorrows in vodka provided by Moscova , it's only a matter of time before Moscova starts selling off part of their land to China, in hopes of reversing this decline. Won't happen.
