S'okay if you don't believe. That dead animal on Rand's head told me about these things. You have to be part of the inner circle to know these secrets.

Is that like e-broccoli? It cures everything!

But the Z in zucchini is on the other side of the alphabet from the E in Ebola. Chow down!

WARSAW (Reuters) - October 19, 2014
Poland's parliamentary speaker, Radoslaw Sikorski, has been quoted as saying that Russian President Vladimir Putin proposed to Poland's then leader in 2008 that they divide Ukraine between themselves.
Sikorski, who until September served as Poland's foreign minister, was quoted telling U.S. website Politico that Putin made the proposal during Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk's visit to Moscow in 2008 - although he later said some of the interview had been "overinterpreted".
"He wanted us to become participants in this partition of Ukraine... This was one of the first things that Putin said to my prime minister, Donald Tusk, when he visited Moscow," he was quoted as saying in the interview dated Oct. 19.
"He (Putin) went on to say Ukraine is an artificial country and that Lwow is a Polish city and why don't we just sort it out together," Sikorski was quoted as saying...

Ukraine was once part of Poland. Kind of a strange suggestion since Poland is part of NATO and an agreement had been made between Russia and Ukraine about not interfering with the territory of Ukraine some years before that idea was put forward by Putin.
Interesting look at what goes on behind the scenes. Of course this was before the Crimea annexation, or in the eyes of some, the rightful return of the peninsula to Russia.
Putin is really into the history of the area, sees things long term, and it's rather hard not to be as all these peoples are related by many factors for many centuries. The bonds were forged with bloodshed.
Putin and many Russians want to return to former boundaries and ethnic associations, IMO.
I'll post later on what may be Putin's winning card in Ukraine and elsewhere.
Wondering if this story played a factor in the election? From an article at Reuters. You decide:

Black Slaves.
No, they were employed. From the youngest to the oldest, they all worked.
But they weren't paid.
What a wonderful way to get rid of unemployment. And for the Koch brothers and their lackeys to get richer than ever.
One more reminder of the kind of employment Scott is likely supporting here:
Before the Civil War, we didn't have unemployment in one group of people:Black Slaves.
