That is the KGB way.
I harbor no worship of Putin. He himself is a thug.
But Obama was foolish beyond belief to engineer this last minute war with Vladimir Putin.
Foolish.
Beyond.
Belief.
But for short-timer Obama to try and bully the real thug bully, Putin, when he didn't have to, is like taunting a Bengal tiger and not expecting it to leap on you and tear you to shreds.
Putin didn't just overnight, turn into a cute kitty cat and play dead for Obama, by claiming that Russia would not retaliate in kind to Obama's sanctions. Putin has got something else up his sleeve planned for Obama.
The real pussy in this fight has yet to be screwed.
