  1. This article may have been a little premature. Today, 4/18, Russia and the Ukraine have taken a step back from the brink. Whether or not it will last remains to be seen, but it’s a step in the right direction.

    • It did not take. This is exactly what Putin wants. He ether comes in like a hero on a white horse and gains all kinds of good guy points for “trying” to make peace, then the Ukraine looks like the bad guy. or the KGB Col. who says that “The breakup of the Soviet Union was the greatest geopolitical tragedy of the 20th century.” gives HIS troops in the unmarked uniforms the green light and he take the Eastern Ukraine by force ( a lot like Hitler) And again Ralph Peters is right. 🙂
