The name Vladimir Putin will for a long time send shivers to the spines of millions across the globe, owing to the horrifying signature he leaves behind in any conflict situation he gets involved in.
The case of Syria is one among many nations which the Russian government cleverly gets involved in, by shamelessly providing ammunition for an embattled government to use against her own people.
Since the Syrian crisis broke out in 2011, millions have be brutally killed and displaced, and the role of Russia in supporting her long time (amour deals) ally, the Assad regime can not be over emphasized.
As Syria licks her wound, and the rest of the world (at least so it seems) through the United Nations rally round to seek ways of ending the conflict, after having called Russia to order; Vladimir Putin is once again in the news, and for the same reasons, this time he turned to Russia's former colony, Ukraine to tear her apart.
A crisis which started as a non - violence pro- EU treaty protest late 2013 in the capital city Kiev, suddenly escalated into a full blown crisis; and today less than 6 months into the protest, the country is at the verge of being turn apart if the situation is not brought under control.
Again, the signature of Vladimir Putin is clearly seen on the wall, only this time, will the rest of the world watch as he does what he best knows how to? destroy the Ukraine nation?
With the sudden appearance of Russian military troop in Crimea, Soldiers who neither spoke to press men or any other at that, but waited for further instruction from their boss Putin. My question is directed to this man whom many world leaders have described as "in another world," - German Chancellor Angela Merkel; "lost it."- Julia Ioffe of the New Republic, and
"we may have reached the weird moment when the dictator believes his own propaganda." - Anne Applebaum of The Post....
