Can Trump end USSR Ukraine war in 24 hours? - most likely not

It is more fun criticizing

Newly elected Pres Trump boased that he can end the USSR Ukraine war in 24 hours. It seem unlikely

     1.  Trump has ruffled feathers in Europe;

     2.   There is a problem with missing billions in US aid under Bidien to Ukraine;

     3.   Trump wants Ukraine to pay back US aid (to help lower US deficit)

     4.    Trump and  Zelensky engaged in word war;   Trump would pay $500 B for Ukraines  strategic metals mine (some say this is non existent)

What the world wants now is world peace as promised.   Waiting for Trump to keep his promise

Finland joins NATO; now what Russia?

It is more fun criticizing

Many say that this event (+ Sweden) checkmates Russia's ambition. Finland's border with Russia  is 800 miles long.  Its a long one.  But it is so close to St Petersburg and Stalingrad.   And USSR access to the Baltic sea will be severely limited.   Finaldnd can threaten USSR.

In the past USSR under Stalin made pre emptive incursions into Finland and lost territories.  But Finland despite maintaining neutrality, has built its defenses and continued conscription of male population into its reserve post.   Finland failed to neutralize Russia when it joined forces with Sweden.

Finland decided to join NATO when USSR invaded Ukraine.    

What will happen to balance of power in Western Europe/Russia.   It is in stalemate with Ukraine.  Putin lost out in Middle East with fall of Syria.  This has considerably weakened Russa   And now Finland joining NATO?  And to think that Russia's economy too has faltered, and armaments greatly diminished by war in Ukraine.  Military ranks too decimated.   Can it continue sable rattling....

Russia's Pres. Putin worth $200 billion? How?

It is more fun criticizing It is surprising that he is one of the world's richest. He should not put the world at risk. He should be happy with his wealth.

Is Russia , not Ukraine rebels behind the fatal crash of Malaysian Airlines Flt MH 17?

It is more fun criticizing

Rizal Philippines   July 20, 2014

From Fox News

And Global research - was Ukraines  Ministry  behind the downing of the MH 17.    There were news that MH 17 was escorted by MIG fighters 3 minutes before the plane disappeared.  The missile was fired from Bukov missile defense system.  This is another version that Ukraine Govt was behind the firing.

There has been an international outcry against the rebels, allegedly supported by Russia, as behind the fatal and deadly crash of Malaysian Airlines that killed all the 298 passengers.  There has been a lot of complaint too on how the dead and the remains of the ill fated plane are being handled.

The crash site is declared off limits to visitors, journalist, the crash investigator, and the Ukraine rebels (take note that the rebels are separatists and supported by USSR, not by US as alleged by Putin)

Sec Kerry, and not just Fox news alleged that the SA 11 rockets were:

1. supplied by Russia to Ukraine rebels.  There are 4 rockets in the pod, but only remain as the picture shows;

2.  that the rockets were fired by Russian and not by Ukraine rebels as alleged.

The Fox News also mentions that a certain Russian Colonel named Igor boasted of the MH 17 kill on the social media?

Will this incident move Putin and Obama to the brink?

Will the International outcry affect the Ukraine problem/Putin (many experts do not think so)?

Will this be another Russian misadventure that will be forgotten?

Many movies are larger than life and many events like this has been, in fiction form the, the same plot as this MH 17.
