Russia

October 1917 the Bolshevik revolution started. It took a few years until situation consolidated in the then Soviet Union. It is understandable, Russia was a huge country with tremendous outlying areas. It was not an easy task then to get all the necessary information to every corner of the country. A 106 years later I don't even think it is that easy now.

Today's news is full of an impending Russian civil war. This so-called Wagner semi-nazi mercenary group declared war against Putin. Here in NY there is nothing but analysis of this news story. The reporters are foaming at their mouth about this. Now they have something else beside Trump to talk about.

I think this situation will place Biden in a very peculiar situation. He will have to decide who's side he is on. Knowing this country's foreign policy, I am sure it will be on the wrong side. But can we imagine that after 106 years there is another civil war in Russia? Even though politicians are saying this is an internal affair, I don't think there is such a thing in today's world.

They can say whatever they want, it would affect everybody. As well as politically as economically. And that is something we do not need. Rumor is that Putin left Moscow to St. Petersburg. Maybe because it is closer to the border? But whatever it is, it is interesting to watch these events. I am just sorry for the everyday people living there because I am sure they do not need this. Nobody does.
