Hi,Saw an article today that claims, the Russian security forces basically have
control of Russia. They are the ones that assassinate their nationals in other
countries and control demonstrations and opposition groups. Their mission is
organized terror. If they decide that Putin is a threat to the well-being of
Russia, then Putin will be out. Putin's Defense Minister is likely next in
line. Bob

I like the young lady. Smart articulate and informed and forward thinking.
Excellent English. There is no way to know what the balance is. ... the 2 folks
I know are solid Putin supporters (I did finally email my Moldova friend this
morning, no reply yet), but what our news shows us seems to conform with this
young lady. I hope we are smart enough to allow Putin a path to back off.
save face. Otherwise he could do something even more insane than the invasion.
What JFK did with Cuba ... recall? ... we removed missiles from Turkey ...
obsolete missiles, but allowed Khrushchev to claim success when backing off.

DP,Here is a video I think you might like I just came across. It is a video
posted by a young couple who just left Russia on a last minute whim. Left most
of their belongings behind. I think it is interesting because the gal goes
into some detail as to why they made this sudden unplanned move out of the
country. If she is typical, and I feel she is, what Putin is doing in Ukraine
is not at all popular with most of the Russian people. I think the general
population of Russia is suffering too.SteveTo post, send email to
