MadVlad Episode III

So there you have it, variety is the spice of life

All is revealed as President Putin’s divorce is finalised. Poor old Vlad the Lad, is in the throes of a midlife crisis. Lyudmila has been expunged from the record books and removed from his website, or as Dimitry Peskov Mr Putin’s spokesman put it – edited out.

  ‘No man can be an island unto himself’. Nor can he be fully-functioning without the will of a good woman. So now no doubt, there’s a vacancy, a trade-off so to speak or in insurance jargon ‘New for Old’. So the world waits with baited breath for a glimpse into the life of Lyudmila’s replacement Alina.

But on a more realistic note this might go someway to explaining Vlad’s erratic behaviour of late. The flexing of his pecs, as he rides bareback on the vast rolling wasteland of the Steppes. Could it be that was to impress the rest of the world or more likely Alina? It could however help to explain the reasons, behind Mr Putin’s necessity to divert attention from the dissidents, on the domestic scene – the men who would be king.

This bareback gimmick however, turned out to be a policy decision with unforeseen consequences, for it certainly impressed ‘the Nigel’. Apart from the others he had to sideline with gagging orders and incarceration, like Mr Khordorkovsky and other political opponents who emerge from time to time, with political ambition, only to be ruthlessly suppressed.

In actuality Vlad the Lad is little different to dictators he shares his continent with. In addition, the vindictive way he uses energy resources to threaten neighbours if they dare to query his motives, is yesteryear stuff. I do not think however that this behaviour presages a return to Cold War or Iron Curtains for these instruments of control have no place in the modern world.

Since the advent of the Arab Spring and the deposing of democratically elected leaders which seems to have taken-off, alongside mass-movements to remove certain leaders of a dictatorial persuasion. A new world order is on the agenda, though at the nub of all this, lies the real evil at loose in the world, militant religious doctrine. There can be no justification whatsoever for blowing people to bits with explosives in a bid to impose radical religious-based ideas of life and living. Better to jack up the cost of living eh, to cover the ante-post bet for continuum?

In our 21st century world, surely the guiding principles should be Freedom, Choice and Opportunity, without any fear of intimidation. For there is a ground swell of popular opinion, as religious practice diminishes worldwide and brain-washing from birth, by inculcating religious principles into a babe in arms, has to be seen for what it is.

Watch this space I’ll be back! Unless I finish up jumping up and down to keep warm, on the premise North Sea gas might run out, before we get fracking on any kind of scale?
