WWPD: What Will Putin Do?

With Crimea successfully under Russia's belt the only real question that remains is.... What does Putin want next?  Lets look at some Map Facts to help us figure this out. Below we have two maps of Ukraine info. The first slows the cultural divide while the second shows their political divide. Side by side they are almost equal. If you look at the more recent 2014 election results you will see they were basically identical to that of 2004. Northern and Southern Ukraine seem to be inherently different and a large majority of southern Ukraine identifies with a Russian heritage and/or language.

Early this week Putin's officials made comments about the uneasy of Eastern Ukraine and clearly stated their willingness to help the citizens of Russian heritage to avoid the political upset that was to come. While this almost sounds like a purely humanitarian venture, it is, of course, hard for me to believe in Putin's good intentions ploy. Especially in lieu of the fact that he denied all military action up until the final push in Crimea.

So now, if Crimea is any example, we can safely assume that everything in Blue could potentially be Russia's desire. And why would they want the blue; just look at all the water front property they would claim. Russia has historical been cut off to warm water ports and a land grab like this would increase them a minimum of 50%. This a rough number that only includes the western Russian ports in their southern most regions and does not include the already obtained Crimea at all. Crimea alone has already increased Russia's south western port access significantly.

With all this being said I have to ask myself, "Will Russia ignore the north east bank of the Dnieper River?". I know if I were Putin I probably would not. And I Definitely wouldn't stop with Crimea. At the very least I believe Russia's long term plans for Ukraine include all of the Black Sea ports and much of the eastern river bank. Looking at other Russian borders we can see they have a habit of snatching up both sides of a river. So, while i do not believe Russia truly wants all of the Ukraine, I do think they want 65%.  Chernobyl, with all its nuclear contamination is probably an area they don't really want. But grabbing Chernobyl would be profitable in the long term, especially if they have desire to obtain all of the Dnieper River, even that extending in to Belarus. Below is map i have created to show my prediction of what Putin is after in the Ukraine.

Beware dear Ukraine, Belarus and Moldova! The wolf is a awake and he is on to Peters tricks.

Malaysia Flight 370... Where is it now?

As the details unfold slowly from government officials it appears that Flight 370, while not "found" is not as lost as it once was. Earlier this evening CNN posted an article stating that officials were saying that they had found satellite data of a Confirmed Flight 370 was still flying in the air 7.5 hours after take. at 8:11am the plane was located in some sort of handshake of two satellites. I think they are trying to say that they were tracking it without being close enough or in communication enough to know for sure where it was going. For some reason officials believe the plane to be either " in one of two flight "corridors" -- a northern route stretching to northern Thailand, Kazakhstan and Turkmenistan and a southern route toward Indonesia and the southern Indian Ocean."  

I don't know about you, but I"m still confused as to how the directions can be so A or Z. It seems like with all the tracking information they have someone should know whether it went north or south at the very least. But, all that a side, the more serious issue at hand is that there is now a VERY good chance that the passengers of flight 370 are alive and in great danger. The 239 passengers (if still alive) are experiencing there own 911's. I truly TRULY feel for these people and their families. I pray for them all, as does the rest of the world.

With the matter of flight 370 I do not pretend to have the answer. But, and there's always a but, I do wish to show you something I pieced together. This map shows all of southern Asia and its surrounding neighbors. The circle represents the distance to Bejing and the other possibilities. In center of the map I have lined up the FOX NEWs(if they can be trusted) map of four pings that the plane gave off before going off the grid again(and by again, I think I really mean that the governments just aren't telling us more information).

I apologize in advance for the size of the FOX map, If anyone has a better copy I will be happy to update my map.

So, as you can see, other than the flight distance circle i have only added one thing more to the map. It is a simple line following the last known direction of Flight 370. I promise you I doctored this in no way. The line, the circle and direction all meet at one place. Karachi Pakistan. I pretend to know nothing about Pakistan and their people, but I can read a map and have basic intelligence. Again, I don't believe flight 370 is as lost as we once thought it to be.

I am not a leader of a nation with a great army, and I am not a authorized to see the data that others used to make this map I provided possible. But I know, in 2014, with ALL the technology we have, somebody, SOMEBODY knows where that plane is located. I will continue to pray for the passengers and crew and I truly pray that the day never comes that we find the plane as its crashing into a another building. Leaders of the world you better be doing your best, the worlds needs you to find that plane.

Crimea the Captured, Ukraine the Uneasy, and Putin the Punk.... What's going on here?

As developments seem to have simmered slightly in Crimea I felt it was time for me to post my two cents worth on the subject. The capturing of Crimea is no doubt a crime and should not go unchecked. But more than anything I believe Crimea is a test and the Russian forces are the scare tactic to unnerve the people. I'm sure it is all working out as Russia planned too. Putin seems to be uninterested in public speaking yet his minds seems to be concerned with something. I feel that Crimea is the beginning of something more real and sinister to come. They say this act of capturing Crimea is going to be a big set back for Russia with International public relation (ya think) and that they will be unable to gain international support in the future. I think this means very little to Putin. But this does mean that Putin must have some sort of plan. He would not have made such a move unless it has been in the minds of his Russian government for some time. You have to know you want something in order to be so ready to obtain it when the first, I repeat FIRST, opportunity arises.The history of Russia and the Baltic countries is well known to most and contains much chaos and struggling for freedom. Mind you, Russia did none of the struggling for freedom. I support Ukraine in whatever they choose. And I support Crimea in whatever they choose. It is hard to say, though, if they will be allowed to make the chooses themselves.

The Republicans say Crimea is 'lost". I say to h@!! with that. For American Republican's to say such a thing is a travesty against our great country. Whether or not we should intervene yet, or at all, no American should be so brazen to dismiss the greatness that is our country and our ability to achieve any goal we set our minds too. We may never (as a country) intervene but that doesn't mean we couldn't. I don't pretend to know exactly what all the republicans are thinking, but I sure wish they would try a little harder to instill hope and strength in our country and not just disappointment and shame. I should have to turn on Russian or Iraqi news to hear so much shaming of America. Instead, if want to feel like we are one hole in the grave all you have to do is turn or the daily re-caps of what our nations top Republican leaders have to say.

 Here is an interesting thought to end on.... Where is the UN? What is the UN quote unquote authorizing the worlds greatest nations to do. Russia is obviously wanting someone else to react now and I understand not over reacting, BUT, where are the official calls for Russia to remove troops? Where are the other country's men on the ground to show strength and ability? Where are the leaders of the world and why are you all letting Putin make us question your worth?  I'm sure there is just nothing in Crimea and the Ukraine that they want or need, otherwise they would all be there. I do believe, though, that there is something there that Putin wants!

United We Stand! Or Do We?

    America, are ready for the hard questions, touch choices, long nights, and exhausting inclusiveness that make up the back bone of a socially strong society? The answer is yes and no. Yes, because we are already doing it. And no, because we are not doing it in unison. And that is America's biggest pit fall. Instead of giving our effort and seeing results, we instead exhaust our efforts and have very, very, VERY little to show for it.
      We don't need a radical change to be comforted by change. I know over the past few years there has been much debate on the subject of national health care.(I will not cheap'n it by referring to it as "Obama-Care".) Many people believe one thing, and many more believe another. Some say it will be our curse, other think it will be our saving grace. I know one thing for sure, a lot of wasted energy has gone into both sides of the argument and A LOT of material as been excessively ignored because of this debate. Based off this one issue America has been so divided that our government was literally shut down. I know many people believe that Republicans are all to blame, and maybe they are. But I ask you, where were the other congressman. Did they stay home until the Republicans let them come back to work? How can everyone be so accepting of these types of catastrophes without protesting in the street?
     This is a PRIME example of how divided we are as a country and quiet we are to what is actually the most important issues. As a country of power we stand in the eyes our neighbors without even trying. We are the ultimate unseen butterfly affect because we do not see the significance of our tiniest actions. As a society we fly around and flap our wings not truly trying to exist as a unity. Yet we are so connected that we would be fools to say our lives are not as one.
       We THE PEOPLE are the heart beat of our country. And, we are what the world looks at when they judge us. Every bad decision America makes is blamed on us, THE PEOPLE.  We, in return,  love to blame our congressman, but maybe blame it's self is the culprit. We choose to assign blame rather than assign hope. We hide from blame rather than have courage for what is right. We use blame as a weapon rather than meet each other in the middle. Blame is not a helpful term because it gives us all a since of comfort and self assured-ness we don't desire.
         To blame someone of something is equivalent to reading a piece of paper containing subject of blame and then filing it in a folder labeled "Not My Fault". If you are a good person that is great. If you are loyal and loving to your family that is wonder. If seek to appreciate life& nature and not be victimized by media & advertisements then you are definitely seeing the bigger picture of the world and I 100% applaud you. But none of the amazing qualities that i have stated address those pieces of paper we have placed in our "Not My Fault" folder. Most of the things an average or even above average person does on a daily basis has nothing to do with what is necessary for us to fix our country and how we can further preserve what is so special about America.
   In closing I offer you a thought. If today was the first day of your turn to make a law, what law would you make, where would you start, who would you help and how would you help them. This type of thinking and these types of questions should be our ground zero for true change.
