On the Current War

             The Crisis in the Ukraine has been continueing since  Febuary 2022 since the Russians started their bravado and threats toward the Ukraine.And since the 24th of February a short war of almost a week has been going on the Ukraine. What drives Putin to such extremes. Is Putin just a bloody tyrant or is it resources. Perhaps it is more than that.  The Ukraine indepedant since 1990 and a nexus of shared history for all Ethnic Russians and Shared Slavs has been desired by Vladmir Putin. Putin an admirer of Russian history wishes has dreams of restored imperium for a new Russian Empire perhaps bringing back some Cold War glory. Putin desires at least to annex the Eastern Province of Donestk&Lukhans or the Donbass region.  And possibly replace the leader and goverment of Ukraine.  

            Since February 23rd the Second Ukrainean Conflict or Ruso-Ukrainean War of 2022 has been going on.   Russian forces has been invading from Russia and all around the Ukraine.The Ukraine before the war from Mid-Febraury was surrounded by various branches of the Russian military on all sounds. With Russian ships in the Crimean Sea,Baltic Sea,and Sea of Lubhanks the Russian Navy blockaded Ukraine. And from Rebel-Held territory in Dunbask&Lubkhans provinces of Eastern Ukraine the Russian Army poured into Ukraine. As well as from Crimea and Russian Ally Belerus. Russian forces so far have taken Chernobyl and although are in the suburbs of Kiev the Ukraine continues to resist. Ukrainean forces  Donbask continue to resist.  Valiently the Ukraineans have downed more Russian jets and helicopters and killed more Russian soldiers than Ukraineans who have died.And the Brave Maccabee of the Ukrainean People,President Zelensky continues to resist from Kiev.  Zelesnksy a Jewish Comedian is admirable as great heros of the past.Like Judah the Maccabee and Charles De Guelle he leads his people against the foreighn oppressor. Perhaps whatever the Russians want for Ukraine they won't accomplish.
