Hi Steve,They had a bio on the defense minister in the article. The main
positive thing was his mother having connections to Ukraine. Maybe he would be
more sympathetic to Ukraine's people but then some people are only motivated by
wealth and power.Bob

How's that old saying go - something like "Be nice to your boss, your next one
could be worse". Hard to imagine anyone could be worse than Putin, but
possible. History rife with despot leaders. Steve

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

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. Steve To post, send email to
