Time will tell on that one, but I don't think he is through. He is of the mind that he can take it all, it doesn't matter to him what we think we simply must expect the incomprehensible from him. It was madness for Hitler to engage the Allied forces of France and Great Briton but he gambled and nearly won. You can expect the same from Putin, he is not simply having a tantrum regarding NATO and the Russian sphere of influence. I know I sound a bit over the top, but then so did Sir Winston Churchill throughout much of the 1930’s.

“If you will not fight for the right when you can easily win without bloodshed; if you will not fight when your victory will be sure and not too costly; you may come to the moment when you will have to fight with all the odds against you and only a small chance of survival. There may even be a worse case: you may have to fight when there is no hope of victory, because it is better to perish than to live as slaves.” Winston Churchill

“Never give in—never, never, never, never, in nothing great or small, large or petty, never give in except to convictions of honour and good sense. Never yield to force; never yield to the apparently overwhelming might of the enemy.” Winston Churchill
