The problem right now is that the Russian people are supporting Putin,
he is promising them the Russia of the Soviet Union, a Russia that no
longer exists and will never exist again.
I love the Russian
people and I hate that they have a leader that are misleading them into
thinking their government is still and international player, if Russia
did not posses nuclear weapons right now they wouldn't even be on the
Security Council of the United Nations, and that's where Putin has his
power.
The thing that scares me about Putin is he is no different
than many dictators of the past, he will get away with what he has done
in Crimea and will probably take part of Ukraine because there is only
two things that Putin is scared of, first that he will be thrown out of
power by his own people (which will happen) and two military power, he
is not scared of economic sanctions because they are not going to hurt
him personally until his people are hurting and we get back to point 1,
he is thrown out of power, but what may happen before than is there may
be a military confrontation between Russian forces and forces from the
west and today the fly over of the USS Donald Cook was just a jab to
see what the ships response would be.
If there is a military
confrontation than again we will go to point 1, because like I said I
like the Russian people and the last thing they want is military
conflict with NATO and if that happens he will be thrown out of power,
so eventually Putin will be gone but I am afraid that more lives will be
lost than the 1 reported in Crimea and the 1 reported in Ukraine.
