Hah - I almost replied this morning that the only way Putin could hold Ukraine was to take over the government and then use good old corruption to suppress its nascent democracy. Old fashioned military occupation probably wouldn't work these days. But with corruption you just choose your cronies, and I'm sure there are plenty Ukrainian oligarchs waiting in the wings. Now the Brits are coming out with the news that that's pretty much his plan.

Thanks David Jarmal for posting this article. On my radar so I subscribed. David Smith you always hit the nail on the head without excess fluff. All of these same issues have been going through my head for weeks. Glad I am not the only one seeing this big picture. Appreciate your insight and honest evaluation. I will keep my eyes wide open.
