THE BATTLE FOR DONETSK…. AND THE OTHER SHOE!
As the attention span of the West shifts away from Gaza,
does it not focus in on the battle for Donetsk?
It’s obvious many Western leaders are concerned about the
outcome of this conflict, but the question becomes, are their citizens?
If everyone woke up in the morning and learned that Donetsk
was right in the middle of a battle that could determine the fate of the Rebels
in the Ukraine, would they care?
Here is the problem and it’s not a new one.
The average Joe on the streets of New York or London may not
care, but the average Ivan on the streets of Moscow would!
Even worse than that fact is the reality that the average
Ivan’s Leader, Putin, is more than concerned.
Is this truly the last leg of the Ukrainian, pro Russian,
resistance?
Are the Russian going to allow them to fall?
Are the supporters of the Rebels going to be forced to walk
into Russia?
Does the Tsar allow two things to happen?
- The Pro Russian forces
fall to the new Ukrainian government.
- The economic punishment
Russia has had placed upon it is rewarded with the destruction of the “resistance”?
Once again the stories of Russian forces moving towards the
border with Ukraine.
Once again the new articles depicting the latest group of
Russian Military Exercises” hit the airwaves.
So, that’s it?
The Tsar plan goes up in smoke?
The border of Russia breadbasket is now in European hands?
The core of the Russian military industrial complex no
longer belongs to the Tsar?
I’ve never been an optimist and I try not to be a pessimist.
A realist!
That is what I strive to be and it’s for that reason I sit
here tonight waiting for the other shoe to drop….the Tsar’s shoe!
