Soundwave-Proud to be commander in chief of NSA

Well Soundwave, we wanted to sound something of with you, if you can hear us that is. We wondered how the whole world sounded to you recently, jokes aside we wanted your view on events. So people reading this young or old, fans of you or not, can listen as you gently tell a tale that carefully connects people to the dangerous world events going on. So shall we?

"Yes officer. Well we had some situations with Megatron "Grabbing" land as you may call it but he was always pushed back by the autobots."

(Me) So are you...suggesting that Vladimir Putin, the Russian president, may benefit or the world or consequentially, from someone to "Keep him in check?"

"That is not what I was saying...nor is it what I am not saying."

I see...where do you think everything is going next in Ukraine? Some people are speculating a war is brewing and some no doubt that one is already underway. Russian troops are apparently near borders maybe accidentally, frightening nearby countries. Some people think an invasion is planned.

"Well. Ukraine could do with a strong leader...like Lord Megatron, fierce and unnwavering and taking no nonsense from anyone. Alas, that would also be bad for them. For why a mirror image of Vladimir may be the perfect warrior to defend against his might or tackle him, it would end in war no doubt. So a peaceful, perhaps laid back leader but with support from Ukranians may be the answer. As for their future, I fear Vladimir is not stupid. I fear he knows that. I fear Ukraine knows that. So they may call each others bluffs, "We have thousands of Russian soldiers." "We have Europe and The United States on our side." And what happens when one of them actually pulls a trigger? Sadly it has already happened and some people have died. Let there be no more.

"How? How do we do that? How does America, England, Germany....?"

"By showing support, full support for Ukraine."

"What of Russia? Do you not believe in bringing them in from the cold, still?"

"They are used to it."

"Did they ask for that weather?"

"Their actions would appear to suggest such a belief, they have not sought a warmer position."

"Maybe we took all the places?"

"Maybe. But Russia should not be condoned by the world."

"Nor should it be ostrasised. Cancelling G8 and threatening to turn it into G7 and not going to the Sochi Olympics was a big mistake. All it showed was that we do not like what you are doing and instead of trying to help you out with your mistakes we will just ignore you and sanction you at the same time."

I understand officer but there is a sharp call for a strong and decisive movement right about now. People are frightened.

But Soundwave, is that not what caused at least this problem in part in the first place? Russia says via the voice of Vladimir, that it has been unhappy with the West taking over the world so to speak, for a while now and keen for change. Is it inconceivable that Russians were scared? We may think over here in England that it would be foolish to think of the US as a threat but we have lived different lives within our countries and our two have a different relationship. Russia is NOT us and we are NOT them. We may think it easy to see America or at least some of the time, as representing the "Good guys" but to one who is not familar with an aliens language, who can tell a peaceful question from a war cry? Yes some universal human elements link all humans across the world but reinforcing the analogy, America may seem threatening to Russia and Russia in turn to America. But thank you for visiting Soundwave, we may be able to do an update at some point.
