First, you might think you know what the term "organized crime" means. But if you have never had any experience with the mafia and cartels in Russia and the ex-soviet bloc - you don't have a clue. Organized crime IS government. It's the same thing. Two sides of one coin.
Putin is looking at the Ukraine as a crazy bitch. He thinks the Ukraine is like that old traitorous GF that doesn't just break up with you and live peacefully. No. She cheats on you and then starts sleeping with your worst enemy. She keeps digging at you and won't take you seriously. She keeps saying that you shouldn't mess with her because "Johnny" might get mad. Well, Putin just said fuck you and fuck Johnny and he went in like Scarface. The Ukraine is going to pay the price for acting like they were really free and independent. This pretty much spells out the future for all ex-soviet countries. You might think you are "free" but continue to pay your respect to the Motherland. Or? Well, we are watching the "or" part.
