Russian Parliament, as everyone knew they would, gave the aging and sentimental Putin the celebratory OK TO USE MILITARY FORCE IN UKRAINE. It is said, the Russian soldiers have been moved into the streets of Crimea by Putin’s personal orders. That they are there right now ‘securing’ ‘things.’ See here at WaPo.

Expect bloodshed– and thereby blood all over Putin’s hands that he will blame on others. Always he blames others. That since forever has been Putin’s and his dramatically murderous predecessors’ ways with those they see as ‘subjects to be subjected’ instead of human souls who have every right of freedom as birthright.

Putin, who loudly claims that the greatest tragedy of the 20th century was the fall of the Soviet Union–

Putin forgets his lovely satin-gowned balalaika-playing version of USSR was in fact infested across dozens of intertwined nations and regions, with brutal blood-letting, self preening, affectations of beard-growing Lenin-look-alikes, self-annointed thieves who cared nothing for human life other than a handful of cronies who they plied with favors, and who instead stole the largesse and the hard earned lives of the common people through insult and slanders, whilst stuffing themselves to bursting with imported foods and wines, having their ranches and daschas, and taking what was not theirs to take, whilst lining their brass coffers through their own endless extortions, embezzlements and corruptions.

And those with dominion in the old USSR were placed there, elevated there through the greed-sotted minds of the head thieves; those in the Kremlin who had to beware themselves of the medieval court poisoners and killers they’d garnered to harm others.

There was NO freedom for soul, spirit, mind, heart or body in the old USSR that Putin cries so mournfully for with his crocodile tears. Apparently as it was then with its rapes, bunco, racketeering, false charges, mass graves, gassings… that apparently is just the way Putin thinks it should all be again now via his agressions that he KNOWS are going to cause bloodshed, especially of the young.

His rose colored glasses are not red from roses, they are red with the blood of the innocents, the starved, the exiled, the murdered, the souls crying out for justice that have already been ordered harmed, maimed, murdered by Putin’s order.

The Russian-speaking people in Crimea [eastern] side of Ukraine closest to Russia, may think Putin’s is a good idea of seizing Crimea… in order they might think, to have ‘protection’ by Putin from those ‘freedom lovers’ over on the west side of Ukraine.

See map below to note how previous wars have made absurdist boundaries between countries in that part of the world, sowing potential mayhem by dividing people by religion and national affiliation… and also to see why Putin has his eye on those countries closest to Russia, such as Afghanistan, Kazakhstan, and other of the E. Eu countries within hand-snatch by invasion with tanks and gas.

Putin IS more than setting the stage for war within Ukraine by now having placed his actors with superior weaponry to the people’s, on site in Crimea as we speak [he likely already had them suited up, flown, and ready to go before getting parliament’s high five], and already the beatings of opposition in Crimea have begun….

And still and yet and forever, the Western Ukraine people definitely want to be close to the European Union, and NOT to PUTIN.

This is because the people who are in the Western Ukraine want to be free. They do not want to return to their childhoods of less, nor the outright brutalization spiritually, mentally, physically and socially of their parents and grandparents under the so-called “Union” of Soviets, which was actually not earned by accolade of the many peoples. Rather, it was given to Joe Stalin the Butcher as a blood dripping ‘gift’…. the allies handed all the nations of Eastern Europe on a plate after WWII to Stalin the Butcher, as ‘the spoils of war.’

The “soviet union’ ‘gift’ to Stalin, a known murderer of millions of Russians prior to the war, a cohort of Hitler before Stalin decided the Allies had more money to offer him. During WWII and after, Stalin of Russia murdered and invaded and crushed and killed to his black heart’s content. The Soviet Union was FOUNDED on FORCED INVASION and take over without any person’s say so who lived on that seized ground/or in that centuries’ old group. Ethnic cleansing is the LEGACY of Stalin. Forcing oneself onto those who do not want you, is the LEGACY of Stalin and those who came after. There is no glory, no honor to that. Not ever.

The Russian people are good people, just as in any other country. Drink, eat, dance, hunt, work hard, try to be good. But the stories they tell. Those cannot be forgotten. Goodness is not based on nation, but on heart, mind, spirit and soul. And, the leaders at the top of any dirt pile who say they ‘own’ everyone… that is a different story altogether. The stories they tell. Soviet Union shooting and killing young lovers who tried to escape over the borders away from the USSR. So many, so many. Soviet Union gassing innocent people in a movie theatre to make their point. Soviet Union ordering the elderly to be without the comfort of their religious freedoms. Soviet Union literally starving millions of persons, children, the old, the pregnant, the mothers and fathers, the animals. Soviet Union holding inhuman views towards human beings because of x or y or z. Putin not taking care of the people of Russia. Now, wants to ‘take care of’ the people of Ukraine and especially Crimea.

So if Putin wants to rhapsodize about former massively supperating USSR. Have at it. But without people’s lives at stake, without weaponry, without invasion. Otherwise Putin is Stalin squared. Malignantly narcisstic and inhumanly ambitious.

For this exact reason in E Eu, but here too in the rest of the world where ANY of those from E. Eu and Russia have immigrated [and there are MILLIONS of souls who have fled, defected, immigrated, legally or otherwise across to world FROM the “soviet union’]: People have long memories. Oppression of most under the guise of ‘protection of the some’ is still in clear memory of most all persons in Eastern Eu/former Soviet Union.

Putin follows the old communist ways of preening and staged photo ops and pretending to be a GQ cover, while being a brutal dictator who is more of the Kruschev era than the modern era. Putin has a longing, a sentimental longing backed by tanks and armies, to reconstruct the old Soviet Union, that one that deephearted and clear minded people fled from whenever they could.

Most would rather take the chances inherent in freedom than return to the oppression, kidnappings, disappearances, exiles to the gulags, murders at will, of the ‘repressive laws for thee but not for me’ totalitarian regimes in Russia. Once the people saw, during Soviet Union reign, all that as well as the political higher ups ‘living like royalty’ while the common man struggled and starved, had no means of just appeal to the government for ill nor wrongs… communism as it was practiced by the old tribal leaders, collapsed.

But apparently not the blood lust to dominate others who definitely do NOT want to be dominated by self-annointed czars who care nothing for the people except in words, words, words and agressive actions with NO plans EVER for EFFECTIVE peace and prosperity for ALL the people.

Let us pray. For all the people of Ukraine. Good people. Innocent people. Brave people. That they be spared this =’shootin’ Putin’= who should have stayed out of it or else brought Peace instead of every last symbol and actuality of a killing war down on the people. He wants to ‘protect ‘ethnic Russian Crimeans [Crimea being a part of Ukraine]… Putin doesnt seem to care, if there is war, PUTIN will have the blood also of ethnic Russian Ukrainians on his hands. If Death comes to Crimea, Death is an equal opportunity killer of all, without differentiation.
