Putin Points His Finger at Ukraine, But Who's to Blame for Fascism in Europe? – Tablet Magazine
What a man?
Is Putin afraid or just play acting? Possibly, he's the greatest pretender of the modern era copying the youthful leader of North Korea. In his mind, he thrives on being the bully in charge, in his failed marriage, in his failed office, in determining press policy, in dictating military action, in discussing relations with neighbouring countries.
People around Putin are afraid of his unpredictable reactions to threats to his play acting and arbitrary role player. In this Putin vast personal world of deceit, continuously lying to himself and those around him comes as naturally as having morning exercises. He sleeps knowing he will be able to push some around the next day.
What do you think?
George W. Bush’s painting of Vladimir Putin is great. Here’s why.

Why Aren't Americans Taking to the Streets Over Economic Inequality? | Erica Abeel
Deep social ignorance abounds in America, but it is worse in Russia....
IMF Study concludes Oilsands' Economic Impact for Canada Is Not As Big As You'd Think
What benefit there is to Canada almost completely stays in Alberta.... Outsiders to Canada benefit the most, but the net economic benefit is awful.
Russia's Ukraine Invasion Would Be Nobody's Business But Russia's
Not on your nilly .... Russia's past has got them very confused about their future as a peaceful nation whether the present leaders agree or not.
Russia Looks to Skirt Sanctions with Free Trade Zone in Egypt
Trade is good, but Egypt will think twice. Working with Russia is very risky despite close ties when Russia intrigued in Egyptian politics during the last century.
Syria's Assad Praises Putin for Changing World Order
Assad is a poison gas war criminal that should / will eventually be brought to justice. He is another pumped up dictator that needs to mind his p's and q's.
Whose invasion is just? NorthumberlandView.ca
It's possible for the World Court to have powers beyond the desires of willful war mongrels to charge and punish national leaders that commit heinous crimes against their people.
Again it is fitting to repeat Obama's position that the Crimea Invasion Reveals Putin’s ‘Weakness,’ Not His Strength | Intercepts - Defense News
The cowardly act is that of mimicking your adversary. We all know Putin is losing this bluff. The realization of the modern world order is that America is withdrawing gracefully from interventions that were mistakes of the Bush regime. Putin should withdraw soon or he might end up with a bloodied nose given the worldwide opposition that he faces and his poor reading of modern sentiments and massive enforceable alliances for world peace and legal international relations. Leaders elsewhere in the globe should remind themselves of the new world legal order that potentially can/will seek them out for their war crimes irregardless of nationality. Today, the world judges as a collective enterprise seeking peace, security and stability, not pumped up dictators as rule North Korea and Russia, etc...
The world will NOT sit by and have a pumped up muscle-man Mussolini look-alike out-of-touch dictator control it's future. It will be a frightful fight to the death of bad ideas and illegal actions. Russian poverty of leadership is much worse than Putin's empty rhetoric seem. He has met more than his match in the very capable and shrewd world leadership of Obama and the American democrats who command the world attention against this badly conceived very knee jerk protectionist reactionary step by Putin in the Crimea.
The use of force in a world strongly and overwhelmingly primed for peace is unsustainable and Putin should be made more aware of that FACT that peaceful people can fight. The Western response will hurt, but it will happen if Russia does not help the Ukraine peacefully to succeed.
Rule of international law is a foundation of the modern world order and those that think they can forget that will be eventually hauled before the world court of justice and their record put to shame as vile, one way or another....
Obama: Crimea Invasion Reveals Putin’s ‘Weakness,’ Not His Strength | Intercepts - Defense News
Reminds us of that guy Cheney working for G Bush Jr., who accidentally shot some one. Oops, I invaded the Crimea... Sorry?
A world at war is suicide as would be an invasion of the Ukraine.....
If Russia tried to conquer the Ukraine, the world would not stand by and say oh hum, rather the response would be a collective suicide as in Syria.
White House denies 'Cuban Twitter' ZunZuneo programme was covert | World news | The Guardian
There is a fine line of disturbing interference going on. Reminds one of CIA involvement in Canadian universities during the 1960's.
Book Review: ‘The Second Machine Age: Work, Progress, and Prosperity in a Time of Brilliant Technologies’ | CharlotteObserver.com
For those that missed my earlier commentaries on the subject...
For some it's very difficult to know what to do. For others a world of possibilities opens up as never before?

The Internet User's Best Kept Secret
Sketches from scratches is a provocative blogspot that has grown out of the Wuh Lax experience. It is eclectic, which means that it might consider just about anything from the simple to the extremely difficult. A scratch can be something that is troubling me or a short line on paper. From a scratch comes a verbal sketch or image sketch of the issue or subject. Other sites have other stuff that should really be of interest to the broad reader. I try to develop themes, but variety often comes before depth.
