    Interesting development from Putin--

    1. is it a smokescreen in order to get his stock market and Rubel under control
    2. is it a smokescreen because he is running out of money from oil sales
    3. is it a smokescreen because he wants his French carrier
    4. is it a smokescreen because actually his new UW military strategy failed because of moves by the Ukrainians to counter it militarily

    OR is it exactly as this blog indicate--only temporary in order to gain time because he can move back in any time he wants to?

    BUT notice not a single word was wasted on bringing out the Russian troops still inside the Ukraine.

    Of course, one should never underestimate Putin's strategic thinking. May actually pullback troops (temporarily) to buy 'goodwill' & time.

    No one should be getting excited or feeling optimistic about the news that Putin ordered troops home from "exercises in Rostov region."


    BUT THEN is still going on--so really is it simply a smokescreen after all?

    Please don't forget that Russia is still attacking Donetsk airport on a daily basis.

    Sadly, barely a mention in the media that Putin is now moving Nuclear weaponry into Crimea.
