  1. V L A D I S L A V,!!!!! Everyone's favourite ex-Soviet refusenik!! Always very good vslue. OCHEN HOROSHO!!! Ok seriously, with the reasoning taking into context the absurd time frame of having it all over with in a 3 days or week as you mentioned - hat's it more or less, as in the end all the other reasons preferred whether, religious, historical, political relating to maidan or the CIA, and esp the the clownish "poor Russia victim of NATO" grifters, become superfluous, Tsar Putin did this because he though he could get away with it, previous experience demonstrated he could, what was Merkel in Germany or Macron in France going to do ? "engage" (i.e appease) more ? More sanctions, that seemed to be no deference ? I heard someone say recently he did it for thgat aforementioned reason, might have been you John and my reaction was to say out loud and clap my hand "BINGO"! thast's the one when you distill it all down.
