While Putin and Russia are agressively preoccupied with the sole aim of recovering their domination of Ukraine, the divided "West" is meekly watching but applying sanctions which seem to be biting.
In the meantime Putin has developed Russia's political and commercial relations with China, since future Gas supplies to EU countries will diminish.
These two countries are totalitarian states in which democracy is not encouraged. They are "dictatorships" similar to those that existed in the old USSR. The current problems in Hong Kong illustrate this perfectly !
Russia at present has armed soldiers and a complete arsenal of armaments in Ukraine to help Rebels to liberate the country which would then become a Russian state. Factories in East Ukraine have already been closed and transferred to Russia. Citizens have been killed and whole towns have been destroyed. This, Putin says, is due to aggression by Ukrainian troops !
The West watches but Putin will only stop when he gets a "bloody nose" ! Pussy-footing sanctions only irritate him. It is only when Russian soldiers are killed in battles that the Russian people will become aware of what is happening !
Russia's close ally, China, must also be sanctioned ! It helps Russia politically and commercially while exploiting cheap child labour to produce increasing low cost sales to Europe and elsewhere ! This creates more unemployment in the Western World but bolsters Chinese aggression !
