THE TSAR AND THE DRAGON... A DEAL OVER GAS?

When I first commented on the events taking place in the Ukraine, I pointed out that a person like Putin never set out on a complex event without a plan.

As an old KGB Boss, the very idea of  carrying out a mission without proper detailed planning is against everything he was taught.

If you read what I posted last month, you will remember I commented on how the Tsar would have antisipated the Western reaction to his aggressive movements.

within a day of the violence, political leaders in the West were clamoring for the West to cut dependency on Russian fuel.

Predictable?

For the Tsar, this was most likely one of the initial COAs / Courses of Action / he had his planning team take into consideration.

Now, the Russian's concept of supplying  fuel to the Dragon, well, that is a far more complex topic than most would think, but one of the short term goals of becoming less vulnerable to Western dependency... a West that could easily increase their own production levels, was a goal the Tsar knew he had to reach.

So, as a good friend of mine always says, "sometimes you have to wait for the next move to understand the first"!

The Tsar's pending "deal" with the Dragon, well.... that could be the next "move" we all have been waiting for.

Here is the problem!

The sequence timelines between moves may very well speed up.

Let's play my favorite game again!

ASSUME:

Let's assume the Tsar antisipated this pending deal with the Dragon!

Let's assume the Tsar based his next tactical move in  Eastern Ukraine on this pending deal.

Should we now assume, the events in Eastern Ukraine are part  of the "next move"?

We are talking about the nation of Master Chess Players!

I know some people out there tend to believe if they don't see a story staying on the front page for days on end, then the event must be stabilizing or even getting better.

That is such a poor assumption with the Attention Deficit Disorder Western Media groups.

People like the Tsar ,they are skilled in the craft of timing!

The Tsar knows all too well how quickly people, now days, move on to the next shinny object in the news..

Some guy with no legs who kills his girlfriend has the Western media memorized for the third day in a row now!

So, it seems the "plan" the Tsar has launched, a process in rebuilding the dignity of the Russian Nation, is moving "according to plan"!

We continue to look for a airplane at the bottom of the sea..... and the rest watch a legless man cry in front of a judge..

Here who is not watching the courtroom soap opera.

Here is the slice of the Tsar's plan that really becomes dangerous for him in the long run and he knows it.

The DRAGON!

The same DRAGON that once owned Siberia.... and plans to "own" it again someday!

This gas deal is a great victory for the Tsar and the reemerging Russian Empire.....or is it?
