My birth country of Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe) used to launch raids into Mocambique and Zambia quite a lot.  :smile:

That's the semi-autonomy agreement. Even Russia isn't using the argument that Ukraine had invaded Crimea! They say they can go into any country where ethnic Russians live to protect those people's interests.

I've heard that line of reasoning before:  Austria 1938, Sudetenland 1938, Prague 1939, Poland 1938 . . . the more things change . . .

To be fair and balanced, also Grenada 1983.

By the way, I have friends in Ukraine who actually live a couple of blocks from Maidan. I've actually been following Ukrainian/Russian politics for years. My friends were predicting something like this would happen, and I thought they were just being paranoid.

Except we didn't try to annex Grenada into the USA . . . we toppled a Marxist regime that stole the election, and got out.

I have to say- Marxist idea was good in theory, not so much as it was put into action.
yeah no.

Finished Chapter Seven on my new book tonight.  I'll admit, I am beginning to wonder if just maybe I could support myself as a novelist.
I guess the sales of THE TESTIMONIUM will tell the tale.
