What in the world does Putin want?

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....

Shell admits global Loss, blames situation on insecurity in Nigeria!

According to the BBC's news this evening, the Shell Global Profit is on the decline and the reason? security situation in Nigeria.....

Who says Nigeria is not relevant to the Global World Economy?

Impressive to know we hold such sway, this should be an encouraging call to the Nigerian government to key into this situation and utilize it positively, by seeking ways of ending the security night mare the nation is currently bedevil with, taking the Nigerian economy to a World class level. 

If a situation in the country can cause such plummeting global impact to a multi- national company like Shell, making them to openly admit such, then taking our economy to a higher level is feasible.

Controversy trails missing plane as Malaysian Authorities say U.S report is inaccurate!

Malaysian authorities said on Thursday there was no evidence that a jetliner missing for almost six days flew for hours after losing contact with air traffic controllers and continued to transmit technical data.

The Wall Street Journal reported that U.S. aviation investigators and national security officials believed the Boeing 777 flew for a total of five hours, based on data automatically downloaded and sent to the ground from its Rolls-Royce Trent engines as part of a standard monitoring program.

"Those reports are inaccurate," Malaysian Transport Minister Hishammuddin Hussein told a news conference. "As far as both Rolls-Royce and Boeing are concerned, those reports are inaccurate. The last (data) transmission from the aircraft was at 01:07 a.m. (local time) which indicated that everything was normal."

Chinese woman chops off alleged rapist’s penis and beats him to death with a hammer!

A Chinese woman reportedly chopped off her former boyfriend’s penis with scissors and then killed him with a hammer after he raped her, a Hong Kong court heard, according to a report Tuesday.

Yeung Ki, 41, on trial in the city, has admitted killing 32-year-old piano teacher Zhou Hui on Boxing Day 2012 but denies murder, the South China Morning Post reported.

Yeung, a Chinese mainlander and Hong Kong resident, killed Zhou after an affair with the married man lasting years, during which he had deserted her while pregnant and borrowed money without paying it back on numerous occasions, it said.

On the night of the killing, Zhou “beat her, pushed her to the floor, and slapped their daughter”, then “forcibly had sex with her”, the High Court heard.

Afterwards, she drugged him with soup laced with sleeping pills, cut off his penis and flushed it down the toilet, then when he was awakened by the pain, beat him to death with “almost uncountable” blows from a hammer, the paper reported the prosecution as saying.

“Yeung Ki has been charged with murder. The trial will last 11 days,” a spokeswoman for the Hong Kong judiciary told AFP.

Zhou had also told Yeung he had nude pictures of her which he would post on the internet unless she gave him HK$200,000 ($25,800) to buy a car, the South China Morning Post reported, citing prosecutors who appeared in court Monday.

British woman jailed for microwaving kitten!

A woman with mental health problems was on Thursday jailed for 14 weeks by a British judge for killing her kitten by cooking it in the microwave.

Laura Cunliffe, 23, admitted putting her black-and-white pet Mowgli in the microwave as punishment for attacking her goldfish, the court in Barnsley in northern England heard.

She put the microwave on for five minutes but after a minute took out the cat when she realized what she had done. The kitten died later.

Judge John Foster told her: “This was an act of utterly horrendous cruelty on your part on an animal that, as far as I could see, had come to trust you and rely on you.”

He sentenced her to 14 weeks in jail, saying the term was intended as a deterrent for others. She was also banned from keeping animals for life.

However, members of Cunliffe’s family reacted angrily to the sentence, shouting as she was led away in handcuffs that “she doesn’t know what’s happening”.

Cunliffe’s lawyer, Alan Greaves, said his client had longstanding problems with psychotic depression and had been sectioned under mental health legislation 20 times.

Lawyers for the RSPCA animal charity, which brought the prosecution, said there was nothing to suggest Cunliffe was having a psychotic episode when she cooked the cat.

Greaves accepted that she knew what she was doing at the time, saying she “just lost her temper” and adding: “She still can’t believe what she’s done.”
