Vladimir Putin was trained in sowing divisive seeds to create dissension among the USSRs enemies. When Putin was trained by the KGB, the world did not have internet. Being a sharp devious person, Putin has set up a large cyber war group to extort money from businesses, destroy a nation’s infrastructure, and create discord among Russia’s enemies.

            Being a cold warrior, Putin wants to reunite the countries that were formerly part of the USSR with many being in NATO and now against him. Most of the others are in the European Union’s trade association.

            Taking a play out of Adolph Hitler’s playbook, Putin has been taking pieces of the Ukraine and other countries with only minor objections from the rest of the world. He has invaded the Crimea and annexed it into Russia and built a massive bridge over the strait to physically connect Crimea to Russia. Will the Ukraine be Putin’s Czechoslovakia or will it be Poland and start a real war?

            Russians are very conscious of their history even if they overlook some of the disagreeable periods. However, they are very aware of the Slavic people moving east in the fifth century to what is now the Ukraine and the Viking traders setting in the ninth century. The new country was based on two “cities” – Kiev and Novograd. Kiev is now the capital of the Ukraine and the people are seventy-seven percent Ethnic Russian and Russian Orthodox. That is the reason for the Donbas Region’s rebellion and the support of Putin.
