Putin's Invasion of Ukraine

Knowing the lack of basic education offered to our children today, I thought it might be prudent to show where Ukrayina, Ukraine, is located in our world.  What is its importance to the rest of the world and how does Ukraine play into the stability of world security?  Basically it is a buffer between Putin's play to reinstate the Soviet political structure in Russia, and the rest of Europe.  Ukraine borders, from south to north, Romania, Hungary, Slovakia, Poland and Belarus.  The mere fact that Russian troops have rolled into this country probably has these neighbors shaking in their boots.  Putin is an old Soviet hard-liner and KGB lapdog that still enjoys the fruits of his criminal contacts and activities at the expense of the Russian people.  

As much as I would like to see the Soviet back in place to stabilize the region, Putin is not the leader to do it.  He is the Mafia godfather that will support any insane leader willing to take on the west so he can sweep in and reap the fruits of their sacrifice.  He is intelligent enough to realize the U.S. will do nothing to stop him.  Let's face it, Obama is great at drawing "lines in the sand" but thin on action.  He's a pussy and Putin knows it.  Drawing down our military is the only action Putin wants to see from this administration.  When Obama's stripping of our military might is complete, there will be nothing standing in the way of the new Soviet when they roll back into Eastern Europe to reclaim that which was given up.  Putin needs to take action prior to our next Presidential election as he knows that a strong U.S. president will curtail any plans he has in the region.  Putin will play the other nations to his advantage by playing this up as a security move to "assist" Ukraine in maintaining security in the region.  Bullshit, when Putin talks, think the opposite.  He will do nothing that isn't in his best interests.

I have tremendous readership in Ukrayina, and my thoughts and prayers go out to them and the rest of the Ukrainian people.  Now is their time to stand and be counted.  Unfortunately they are about to become another Syria as the inept United Nations will do nothing to prevent this invasion or the slaughter that might ensue as long as Russia sits on the Security Council (yeah, the fox is watching the hen house).

It will be interesting to see which European country jumps in to do what a strong American leader would have done.

This is just my opinion and, I could be wrong.
