It appears this particular insanity springs from the mind of Vladimir Zhirinovski.

Well that makes me feel a bit better.  He probably sent an offer to Mars as well.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Seriously, though, clowns like Zhirinovskiy are not funny.  They're puppet clowns with a purpose, and that purpose can't be benevolent given the nature of puppeteers.

I think his purpose it to make Putin look by comparison.

That may be, but laughing at his antics will accomplish that purpose.

I'm confused by the map. Orange is future state Poland, green Hungary, and purple Romania. That makes sense.

I presume blue and yellow is future state Ukraine? Not even Crimea to Russia?
They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.

There's a fine line between salvation and drinking poison in the jungle.

I'm embarrassed. I've been making the mistake of associating with you. It won't happen again. :)

Maybe the rest of Ukraine would become a republic of Russia again, and Putin would transfer Crimea to it for administrative reasons?  :hmm:

I slightly confused by the suggested Russian charge across southern Ukraine, even if they get there in good order and 'take' trans-denistra, which they already occupy (14th army??) they still end up with a narrow strip of land sandwiched between Moldova and SE Ukraine with limited access to the sea via a river.   :hmm:

Wouldn't something a little bigger make more sense, given the effort involved and likely repercussions ?

Well, what else should we do?

I find Zhirinovsky's map incredibly perverse.  He'd give up Halych and Volhynia to the Poles?   :hmm:
