Putin’s going to have to bring back the GULAG to assure his Soviet/Russian Empire gets rebuilt. So far, he seems willing to destroy the economies of Russia and Europe to prove he’s STRONG. Unfortunately, making an empire means Russians will have to die, which should be no problem for a STRONG ultra-nationalist dictator, president for life, and and former KGB Colonel.
