Ukrainian authorities have lost control of much of the east of their country, as this 'fait accompli'' rolls on. While some in the fickle west would like to forget about the whole thing, Putin hasn't forgotten about Ukraine. "Can't we just all focus on flight MH370?" whine Obama and Kerry. Meanwhile there is another gas attack in Syria. "Where's your red line now, bitch". One day the impotent and petrified US administration is going to have to regain a fraction of it's mojo. Too scared to do anything to upset their fragile markets, they are rapidly becoming a joke. Dictators around the world treat the USA with contempt.
