The entire democratic regime has been so focused on domestic nonesnese like madating a heatlcare purchase in the name of rising socialism here at home that they have fallen hopelessly far behind in international matters. What is worse we no longer have an accurate picture of just what Russia has for military might. I correspond with a friend who lives North Of Moscow and he tells me that the massive amount of money that is being spent on Military productoin and Technological R and D is absolutely frightening.
Something Tells me that Putin has been using the past five years of the US not particularly paying attention and busy waging war on its own citizens to gear up for just what he is doing right now.
I still insist that DC politics has almost nothing to do with Putin's decision to enter Crimea. However I do think he knows that we can't really do a damn thing about it.
While our stooopid dreamers have been dreaming Putin has been paying very close attention.
Three moves to checkmate.
