I think they didn’t think fracking would take off so well. They thought they could rebuild the empire with very little resistance.

I agree. Putin greatly miscalculated how pizzed off Angela Merkel is as she is now beefing up the German military and the EU is talking about its own army.

I think Vlad has been looking for a way out of the swamp but he’s up to his azz in alligators. He’s been kicked out of the G8 and sanctions up the wazoo then the price of oil has plummeted. Just did not coincide with his put the Soviet empire back together campaign. He’s toast IMO.

Putin should have been happy with just the Crimea which everybody expected him to snatch but now he’s trying for the whole Ukraine and I don’t see it happening for him.

Damn you fracking and Ukraine, Putin yells from some decaying wooden house in Siberia.
