Ukraine – Putin Stomps on Crimea

Russian jackboots have marched into Ukraine, specifically Crimea. I know most of you do not know where exactly that is. OK, if you look at a map of the Black Sea, it kinda looks like a football. Crimea is that dangly bit on top that kinda looks like an island.

It is important to Russia because it has Russian military assets. So, they invaded to protect their interests.

When I was a kid, I enjoyed watching snails in the garden. Their slow crawl was elegant and graceful. When you gently touched their antenna with you fingertip, the antenna and head would gently retract back into the shell. After a few moments, they extend back out and continue on their slow way. Of course, mom would then come stomping out of the house screaming: stop playing with it! Throw it onto the ground and stomp on it, it is eating my rosebushes! I understood very well. It merely seemed a shame.

Those of you who thought that the Iron Curtain, the Cold War, and the Soviet Union ended when the Berlin Wall fell and with the rise of Boris Yeltsin, think again.

Have a nice day.
