“There is no cause for Russia to think it’s very existence
is in jeopardy.”
I think that depends upon how unbalanced and unhinged Putin is, at any given moment.
I do too, and I’m not saying it’s unreasonable to have some
concern. Russia screwing with the Ukraine on it’s eastern
border wouldn’t lessen that concern either. Putin had
already given the Ukraine reason to want to protect itself.
Now look at it. The Ukrainian people will now have a lot
of concern. Is that going to make Russia more safe?
