Is life in Russia about to change today?

I know Russians that I call friends. I would love to go visit them. They are ordinary good people like here. They work, enjoy their families, and try to achieve. As always, the leaders make the problems.

 

I hope it's not a ploy by the collective West to freeze the conflict, rearm Ukraine and start it up again later. Mr. Putin is smarter that that, however. The little green goblin in Kiev has got to go at any rate, to Israel, to his nice mansion in Florida, or wherever. Viktor Yanukovych was Ukraine's last legitimate president before Vicky Nuland's cookie sale in Maidan Square in 2014, anyway. Russia will keep the Donbass regions that voted to join Russia, along with Crimea no matter what, probably Odessa and Kherson. Hopefully no more talk from the US and NATO about Ukraine joining that obsolete organization, although the US and NATO will no doubt keep making noise about that.

 

There's no money in peace.
