In the spousal stakes, Melania is pretty good, Asma is my preference. Bill Clinton's wife not such a winner. Evan Braun .... hmmm maybe wars can be explained by the women behind the man. In the battle of the brides during the presidential competition, Big Don was disparaging about Carly Fiorina and unpleasant comparisons were made about wives. We haven't seen Baghdadi's wife. Osama had half a dozen. With a burka, it's hard to get a good idea on who's winning. They don't talk much either. Not allowed to. Of course Putin invaded Ukraine. Except that he didn't - Crimea has been a big military base for centuries and part of Russia. All he did was arrange a referendum then acted on the decision. A bit like Brexit. Or Scotland voting to go with the EU instead of England. Or Quebec going independent and perhaps becoming another state of the USA. It was after the coup that Russia backed the easterners in the civil war that followed the USA inspired coup and subsequent carnage. Surely you can understand that Putin saw Kerry and the F-bomber making arrangements for takeover of Ukraine and Crimea and decided he should back his side in the civil war? That's what the USA does with "advisors" and troops very often. Did you really think that Russia would just roll over and accept yet another onslaught? Zbigniew is even starting to think that maybe his old-style blitzkriegs have had their day. Obama and co probably thought they were really clever, but as with so much else Obama did, Mr Peace Prize made a big mess with a lot of dead people, which nearly included me thanks to the stupid Emirates pilot flying straight over the war zone a couple of weeks before the Malaysian airliner was shot down. I could hardly believe we were really going to fly over the carnage when I watched the map and our track in an A380 headed right for Ukraine. I hoped our big airliner would be able to lose an engine and still survive. I didn't know those clever rockets now target the cockpit!! << He is not getting any peace until he cuts a deal on it. >> The same applies in reverse. If T-Rex wants to reactivate the Kara sea production, and stop the huge deals by China and Russia, and generally Make America Great Again, he'll need to stop the stupidity and get rid of Zbig. Fortunately, Big Don, T-Rex have a lot more sense than Obama, Clinton, and the "Putin is Hitler" whack jobs. Mqurice
