I excerpted what I think is the most interesting portion from the center of the article. It's a case study on propaganda.

Putin may be a lot of things, but I don’t think he’s a coward.

Wonder where all the Putinista’s went? They used to be regulars on every thread whining about Right Sector (who only got 2% of the vote in the latest election) and NATO conspiracies.

Looks like the Ukrainians will eradicate the pro-Russian terrorists, solidify their alliance with the West, and hopefully begin the process of getting Crimea back.

Russia may have gained some territory (Crimea) in the short term, but they’ve turned the average Ukranian so against them that they will be more eager than ever to break away from Putin’s sphere of influence.

Looks like the “worm has turned”.

I’m a bit confused with your position. Is Putin’s inaction good or bad this time?
