Vladimir Putin may seem an evil man, and perhaps there is much to say about this. But Crimea was a part of Russia at one time, and rich in oil; so he got it back into Russia. Ukraine was a part of the former Soviet Union (greater Russia as he sees it), and Ukraine is industrial. So he made a try inspite of sanctions from the west. For the moment he has failed. But the downing of the civilain Malaysian aircraft he could have done without! He has fallen from world opinion in his favour. What he is now likely to do will be intetesting. A second cold war is imminent. But in my opinion he will not let go of Ukraine!
