No Englishman opens his comment box, only the Germans!
... You can see Sam from that ;)

SAM is a german, or he has charakter !

NED is in a other world ;)

Kiev is the heart and history of Russia! The "Rusen" came from Scandinavia and the word "Ruse", the rower.
... the capital Moscow came later ! - The Crimea and Kiev are Russia, a large elephant without a heart ;)

Is it going to be winter in Australia, what are you doing with your motorcycle ?

... i like NED, he is so bad and so softly ^^ - he is honest ;)
( we germans love it ) - hmm...

Did you have a choice or does Putin want to go back to the USSR ?
There was power relationships and the transition to neutrality was too short.
The Ukraine were the center of Russia, the heart! If I were Putin, I would bring Ukraine back to the Reich,
like Germany and Austria back then!
But I would do it quickly and avoid a big suffering!

( hope, you can understand me )

I agree with you ! - But what if Ukraine is Russian again, Russia also borders on NATO !
... Is that a buffer ?
It's all about power and money ! - The Ukrainians are not clean either ;)

... what makes NED, the "danger boy" CHIEF ? ;) - is he out of control ? ^^

Europe is chaos and Putin knows that! - The EU had made a mistake, the EU listened to America,
... and when Trump comes back to power, it will be tight !

But you are right, Putin doesn't wait as long until Europe upgrades, he plays with Europe and you should pay! ;)

I'm not so sure about that! You can assess English and American people, even all of Europe! but the Russians?
And if it's not the Russians, the Chinese will come, but I still have until 2049 !
... after me the deluge ! ;)
