The Russia / Ukraine situation about to become front and center again. Poland just moved thousands of troops to its border w Ukraine. Why is this relevant? Because Poland was the one whom said a Russian invasion of ukraine was eminent , and voila , Russia moved in troops to stop ukraine from decimating the opposition in the east. That turned the entire conflict to two opposing sides with in ukraine. Now Kiev just elected a pro western parliament, and Putin was heard prior lashing out at the west for inciting global unrest ( pot - kettle- black) lol. Putin also endorsed and recognised the election of the pro russia leader in E Ukraine, sides are now drawn clearly. But, the point is, Poland has it's finger on the pulse of Russia's moves, and for them to send troops to its border is unprecedented , as if they know something. Add to it the recent slump in global oil prices, with many thinking the west and Saudis are intentionally keeping them low to hurt Russia, and this situation is about to turn a new chapter.
