The U.S Diplpomat George Kennan predicted that NATO expansion would provoke a crisis, after which the proponents of expansion would “say that we always told you that is how the Russians are.” As if on cue, most Western officials have portrayed Putin as the real culprit in the Ukraine predicament. In March, according to The New York Times, German Chancellor Angela Merkel implied that Putin was irrational, telling Obama that he was “in another world.” Although Putin no doubt has autocratic tendencies, no evidence supports the charge that he is mentally unbalanced. On the contrary: he is a first-class strategist who should be feared and respected by anyone challenging him on foreign policy.

Atleast the westerners are very much aware of Putin being first class strategist who should be feared.It is believed in this century PUTIN is the cleverest leader of all leaders in the whole world.Soviet Union served as a constraint on US power/hegemony.To neutralize Russsia,Washington broke the Reagan-Gorbachev agreements and expanded NATO into former constituent parts of the soviet Empire and now intends to bring formers constituent parts of Russia herself -Georgia and Ukraine-into NATO.Washington withdrew from the treaty that banned anti ballistic missiles and has established anti-ballistic missile bases on Russia's frontier.Washington changed its nuclear war doctrine to permit nuclear first strike.
All of this is aimed at degrading Russia's deterrent thereby reducing the ability of Russia to resist Washington's will.
China and Iran also pose as constraint to US hegemony.
Let's wait and see if the US will successed.

Kiev, Ukraine (CNN) -- A Russian army tank attacked airfields in eastern Ukraine on Monday, Ukrainian military officials said, amid worsening tensions between Kiev and Moscow.
A battle is under way at the airport of the eastern city of Luhansk, Ukrainian counter terrorism officials said.
Shortly before the attack, Russia urged the Ukrainian military to retreat from civilian locations in the east, saying pro-Moscow separatists in the region will not disarm for fear of getting killed

The announcement came after the two sides were engaged in all-night fighting.

PUTIN AWEKA mkakati wa wazi wa KUMALIZA MGOGORO ULIOANZISHWA na WEST +US

President Putin has outlined a seven-point plan to stabilize the situation in the crisis-torn east of Ukraine.

"On my way here from [the city of] Blagoveschensk to Ulan-Bator [Mongolia], I outlined some ideas and plan of actions. It's here, but in handwriting," Putin told reporters.

1. Militias should cease military advances in the Donetsk and Lugansk Regions.
2. Pro-Kiev armed forces should withdraw to a distance that excludes the possibility of shelling settlements.
3. Implement full and objective international control over ceasefire observation and monitoring.
4. Exclude the use of combat aircraft against civilians and villages.
5. Prisoner/captive-exchange via an ‘all-in-all' formula, without preconditions.
6. Humanitarian corridors for refugees movement and delivery of humanitarian aid across Donetsk and Lugansk Regions.
7. Direct repair-crew access to destroyed social and transit infrastructure with supportive aid.
Putin expressed hope that final agreements between Kiev and militia in southeastern Ukraine could be reached and secured at the coming meeting of the so-called contact group on September 5.
"I hope the leaders of Ukraine will support the anticipated progress in bilateral relations," Russia's president said.
He called on Ukraine to take an active part in the work of the contact group "for a final and comprehensive settlement of the situation in the southeastern Ukraine, of course, with full and unconditional assurance of the legitimate rights of the people who live there."
Commenting on the phone call with the Ukrainian president earlier on Wednesday, Putin stressed that their "views on ways to resolve the conflict are aligned."
So far, attempts at temporary ceasefires between Kiev and self-defense forces in the past months have failed to bring about any improvement in the situation in southeastern Ukraine. Each time fighting has continued, with both sides blaming each other for breaking the truce.
