Russian instigated civil wars - Syria and now Ukraine with Putin as self appointed military strategist

Americans are completely soured about any involvement in the world. Nevertheless, the world is watching uncountable thousands of Syrians living in refugee camps and, now, Ukrainians are headed into a similar crises, just because Russian President Putin is playing world politics, like his stolen Super Bowl ring has magical powers. In the real world, absent the fantasy, no nation's foreign policy is effectively pushing back on this Putin tyranny with any impact.


Today, with German Chancellor Angela Merkel standing alongside President Putin in Washington DC, the Russian's ordered surface to air missiles to shoot down Ukrainian helicopters. Putin is a bully but his visions of grandeur must be challenged. Putin's stolen Super Bowl ring does not give him authority to take whatever he wants when he feels like doing so - like the Ukraine. What will the Europeans do if Putin invades the Ukraine?  They'd better have a plan in place because, otherwise, it will be Poland 1939 deja vu.

This action by Putin, to order the shooting of Ukrainian helicopters, wasn't coincidental. Obviously, it was intended to coincide with Angela Merkel's meeting with President Obama. 

It's only a matter of time when a surface to air missile, a dangerous leftover in Russia's arsenals, will wind up being used against American helicopters.  

But, helicopters are too easy too find. What's truly heinous are the numbers of people who're innocently living in harm's way, or as refugees, because Russian President Putin is playing war games like he's hosting a diabolical Super Bowl party. 

President Putin is like a demon who is dancing in the flames of his own destructive domestic as well as economic and ambitious foreign policies.

In my opinion, Putin's dangerous policies are self destructive. Unfortunately, enormous collateral tragedies are created in the wake of Putin's weird ambitions, to expand his nation beyond its already expansive borders. 

Putin's stolen Super Bowl ring doesn't magically make him a military or economic strategist. Tragically, it just doesn't seem to matter if Putin thinks he has mystical Super Bowl ring powers. He's simply getting away with horribly ambitious goals while he seems to be protected from any negative effects.  

Perhaps Putin's stolen Super Bowl ring really does have supernatural powers. It seems like something is protecting his clearly wrong minded support for expanding Russia into puppet government management. 

Is there any way for Robert Kraft to effectively file a lawsuit to demand to have his stolen ring returned?  Help!

Putin has launched his blackmail campaign to withhold fuel to Europe - a temper tantrum that will eventually backfire

Russia's President Putin is desperately acting like the spoiled child who can't get his own way. Russia is short on cash and Putin is long on ego. So, now Putin is engaged in blackmailing Europe with threats to cut 18 nations natural gas deliveries, unless he gets his way - which means anything he wants. 

Remember when Putin stole a Super Bowl ring? Incredulously, he denies stealing it but everybody in the know let him get away with the theft, plus allowed him to lie about what he did. Robert Kraft was a perfect gentleman about the theft, preferring to not create an international incident, but in hind sight, the world should have seen the bully for who he is and demanded the ring to be returned. As a result of continuing to get his own way, Putin is now pulling the strings with Syria, and Crimea and the Ukraine while the rest of the world just issues one threat after another.

Nevertheless, Putin's Russia is short on cash and the ruble currency is useless outside of the country. So, maybe that Super Bowl ring Putin didn't steal will show up on an ebay auction, by an anonymous seller.  

It's difficult to say if Europe and the Ukraine can withstand Putin's dangerous temper tantrums and blackmail tactics. Eventually, Putin will have to sell his natural gas to somebody- like China. Yet, if those 18 European nations that received his blackmail letter would hold together, they're bound to create an economic crises in Russia when unsold gas is sitting around with no revenue forthcoming.

Meanwhile, Europe and the Ukraine are seeking alternative energy sources as their national defenses against any one nation holding hostage all fuel supplies. For example, atomic energy is abundantly evident throughout France and Germany.

Obviously, Putin is desperate for money or he wouldn't be using blackmail to get his way. 

Yet, just like a child who holds its breath in a temper tantrum, the way to break the habit is to let nature take its course and the breathing will naturally resume. Although Putin's tantrum is an extremely dangerous bully tactic, unfortunately, there's no other way to cure him but to let his money run out and he'll be forced to sell his Super Bowl ring to buy food.
