Great Britain, once the Ruler of the Seas, has a sense of its worth to preserve! It cannot, or simply won't submit to a European Union. No, it would rather go it alone, even if its business climate would markedly suffer. Oh well, I'm sure an independent Scotland would be well-received into the body of EU states.

Georgia being prepared to join NATO
In that some slices of Georgia have come under Russian control, I was somewhat surprised that still, it is slated for NATO membership. HOORAY!
IXX. Kiev reports: Ukrainian infiltration into Russia
Please--A WHACK-O Theory has not a grain of truth to it! Well, maybe some grains of truth, but only just some!
It has been rumored that Russia is anticipating a more friendly Ukrainian government in Kiev to be established soon. I don't think so!
What I take to have recently occurred in the Ukraine is that Eastern Ukraine, under control of Moscow, has been sufficiently lax in securing its border with Ukraine proper, enabling some bold Ukrainian-Russians and other types of Ukrainians to travel East into the heart of Russia to the city of Moscow and the very steps of the Kremlin. Indeed, I have reason to believe there's now a worn path from Kiev through East Ukraine and Russia, permitting Ukrainian dissidents access to express their dissatisfaction with Putin's totalitarian Presidency to fellow dissidents in the heart of Russia itself. The intended result is obvious: toppling Putin from his second reign of terror.
If Russia hadn't insisted on supporting an Eastern Ukraine, which apparently it is not able to dominate, the nexus highway could not have been erected. But now it is too late. NATO and the EU will benefit from what it is learning from these Russian and Ukrainian-sympathizer incursions. Incidentally, I understand this super highway does not end at Kiev but extends to London!
Putin will not only lose the support of Russia's ruling class, I predict, but its investors abroad will come to know the true worth of industries and business enterprises in Russia and will act accordingly. Still, he may continue to garner the support of its citizenry until the country's ruble becomes worthless and the country itself is bankrupt. I know that China's patience has grown thin at Putin's incompetence; and at sometime Russia will lose its monetary support.

--I'm instituting a new topic into the "John's What's UP?" series: Goings-On. This will enable a comment or two on some recent developments in an area I'm been tracking.
--I'll get to the new items on the topic of "Peace and etc." soon! Busy right now on items-of-the-day.
--Weather's turned hot, hot!
