On these matters alone, I'm prepped nonetheless to be enlightened as to how/when anything good is likely to come out of America's color revolution and regime renovation experiment in this part of the geopolitical landscape. And when it comes to the situation in Ukraine, one that has emanated directly from America's interference in its political affairs in 2014 (after, it has to be said, an unsuccessful on there ten years earlier, well might we ask of the aforementioned, former CIA chief spook Woolsey:

'How's that ''[we] only [do it] for a very good cause [and] in the interests of democracy'' thing workin' out for ya Jimbo?'

Yet whilst these are just some of the reality checks needed in order to assemble a measure of veracity and insight regarding all things Ukraine, such "checks" one imagines are, and will remain for sometime, asynchronous with the narratives disseminated via Washington's anti-Putin, anti-Russian 'brochure.'

And one final point if I may. If Putin and his Kremlin gremlins did indeed do some kind of a dodgy deal with Donald Trump during the 2016 presidential election in order to get him across the line ahead of Hillary Clinton -- the only story that seems to capture the attention of the MSM mavens these days -- it would be fair to say that the otherwise estimable Russian president and his beloved Motherland are getting well and truly shafted. Maybe Putin isn't as clever as we give him credit for? To be so artfully duped by a dope like The Trumpster? Oh, the ignominy of it all!

Yet, all that aside, wouldn't many of us just love to hear what the estimable and dutifully righteous Mr Parry might've had to say about more recent and possible developments in the country that interestingly -- according to Dutch historian Kees Boterbloem -- was affectionately known back in the day as "Little Russia"?

But of course that's not going to happen. I can only hope this missive in some small -- if not (ahem) short -- measure, passes for the next best thing!

Greg Maybury.
