Ceasing the Cease Fire, Putin Style

NOBODY THOUGHT THE LATEST CEASE FIRE in the Ukraine had a chance, and sure enough, it didn't. It lasted something like eighteen minutes, which is probably about the length of time it took Vladimir Putin to stop laughing at the gullibility of the western European nations and the U.S.A., and restart the tanks, guns, and bombs. Putin is a man who is obviously willing to make his own people suffer in order to fulfill his vainglorious ambitions, which essentially seem to be recreating the Soviet Union empire, and getting credit for it, eternally. How many more sanctions can the world impose upon Russia, and to what extent can they cause damage? there's got to be a limit, hasn't there? Russia is, after not, not entirely reliant on the outside world for survival. There was a time when many Russians signed on to this website and evidently read it, particularly when, as it often does, it made critical comments about the United states. But no more. the Russians have vanished! where have they gone? where are our friends the Russians? Is Putin now blocking internet access, or access to some of it, to his own people? you couldn't out it past the sneaky bastard. Some Americans seems to admire Putin; usually these Americans are members of street gangs, motorcycle gangs, and right wing militia organizations. Birds of a feather, it would seem. Oh well. If we don't hear from the Russians, or they don't hear from us, it will probably be because one government or another, or perhaps both, has simply taken control, total control, of all communication. This would be no more surprising than the end of the cease fire that never was.
