@thewindupbirdchronicles It will affect the average Russian citizen and that could lead to political unrest as the effects bite

@Dlrannie That's the hope I know. I have Putin is a sociopath (most leaders are) and how he sees their ruin is another story. I want to be wrong about this.

@Dlrannie My honest hope, and it's political, is he is trying to engage the cold war again. Where all is silent with threats that are mostly empty; but that's practised already but it's been a while. If he backs off now, that is what he is trying to bring back (only way I see it)
