Ukraine

[Straight Shooter]

I do not believe Putin is out to restore the former Soviet Union ......it’s all about trade routes and access , and stopping the west from moving further east (after the promises not to ) Ukraine is a buffer zone for Russia with the advantage of port access plus grain production .........Putin is giving lessons to the west right now ....oil , fertiliser and selling everything via their own currency ....and not the usd , the US dollar is dying and loosing its influence , and countries know it and they are positioning themselves for the day it all comes crashing down .
