Putin vs. Soros
alright, kiddies..... here are some Bigs making their cases:
Vladimir Putin speaking on US foreign policy and actions in the Mideast:

To which Soros, who funded the overthrow of Russia's next-door pet Ukrainian government in an attempt to drag Ukraine into the EU, has this to say:

The START treaty, which the US and Russia relied on in decommissioning many nuclear weapons, included a promise that the EU or the US would not interfere in the Ukraine, where much of Russia's nuclear weapons are located.
Personal sources tell me that the EU sought to include the Ukraine as a stop-gap, last-gasp tactic to avoid financial meltdown, as the Ukraine was considered a rare solvent state, with the capacity to lend stability to it's allies.
Before the Soros gambit in Ukraine succeeded, Russia offer financial incentives to the Ukraine in 2013:

later, in 2015, the aid was linked to a stipulation to keep IMF help out.... it was a war for influence in Ukraine with a price tag.....

In the above persuasion piece, Soros characterizes the conflict to be a race between Russia and the EU to see who will be the "Last Man Standing" in Europe. Soros argues that both Russia and the EU are on the verge of financial collapse. . . .
And Putin won.

If you will read all that, it will show Soro's claims to be patently false, a stupid attempt to scare us into lining up on his team. It also shows my "personal source" to be clearly wrong as well.
The Ukraine is not a financial plum essential to either the EU or Russia, but a staging ground for Soro's(and others') attempt to create a new war. Putin has called it right. If the UN through Western hegemony blatantly converts an essential element of the START treaty in a historical obsolescence, Putin says it means our world is not run by "new law" but by "no law".
As I've said before, Putin is rational, and he sees things in terms of his national interests. He argues that the US and Russia are natural allies, and he argues against a geopolitical scheme to divide the world against itself along military parameters.
At the present moment, the Ukraine is not going to join the EU, and is rebuilding its relationship with Russia, though very recently there has been some rhetoric by some Bigs that still hold out hope a bit down the road.
Only 30% of Europeans favor the idea, and only 50% of Ukranians. I suppose it's still open for more bidding, financially, as the Bigs of the world jockey for influence, but five EU nations have come out to oppose it.
talk runs every which way. With the Brexit vote, and England out, there is talk of even Russia joining the EU and NATO. Why not? The geopolitical conflict lines were engineered by the snooty Brits for the purpose of dividing the rest of the world up into Balkanized little warring countries to keep anyone from rising above the Brits.
Yes, Putin is right. The US and Russia are natural allies against that obstructionist meddling little set of snoots.
