The Aggressor

 ("Putin Orders Forces to Ukraine's Breakaway Regions")

The Ukrainians are the "aggressors" like an opponent who continually put his face in the path of Mike Tyson's fist was the aggressor.

Surrounded by 190,000 Russian troops, the idea that Ukraine would provoke confrontation is one that  would be a bad joke if it weren't so deadly serious.

As they send in "peacekeepers" to do anything but that, Mr. Putin's long all consuming obsession with Ukraine is nearing its inevitable conclusion.

And the world watches unable, or at least unwilling, to do anything to stop him in his tracks.
