Yes of course...we've heard all that before too....we'll just go around in circles so best to call it quits. It seems if you're a stand over merchant with nukes and yearnings for a long lost Empire you can get away with just about anything. We'll just sit back and watch Putin's Russia increasingly descend into totalitarianism and cross our fingers the madman doesn't push the wrong button. No future in War...perhaps a pity the Tsar is too young to have experienced the kinds of stuff his poor cannon fodder has been/is. He might have done things differently if he had. But let's look on the bright side...I believe many of his gaols are probably less crowded now which he can fill up again with increasing numbers of so called 'dissidents' ? Maybe that was part of his plan all along ? As well as strengthening and expanding NATO of course and getting much of the rest of the world offside !
