Winter is coming. How many buttons have to be pushed to cut off the energy supply to Europe?
This is an interesting article, thanks for posting it. I think, though, that if someone with Putin’s popularity in Russia also controls the mass media there, it’s not more than a simple trick to blame outside forces for any hardships being experienced due to this.
Almost like a certain person I can think of, closer to home, who has 97% of the media in his pocket, along with academia, entertainment, the bureaucracy, big business, most of the legislature, NGOs, social-service types, minorities, etc, etc..
Putin ain’t going anywhere and like the article says, if he falls, the next guy will be a copycat
