Interesting that said same West then give comfort to criminal oligarchs who run from jail. All at same time Western economies rocking from own oligarchs.

Nice to see that some are ready to forget forgiving individuals for sake of forgiving communism as Putin is doing and you are obviously doing.

You are not impressive.

Your total war would end all Western civilization and leave land open to Islamic conquest...very good plan...

Islam and communism are like two fingers on a hand, or rather a finger on the hand. The way Islam gobbles up women and communism gobbles up the rich... same difference same cannibalistic origin... and Putin regrets the fall of communism.

Who is an oligarch, who is a criminal, who is a fascist, who is an FSB agent disguised as a businessman, and who is simply a duped reformist who was in the wrong place at the wrong time? As always, Russia sows confusion, and makes it so that the Westerners really don't know who to trust. A wilderness of mirrors is created and maintained. The only constants are the movement of Western funds and technologies to the East, increasing Western economic depedence on the East, as well as ongoing myopic military draw down based on the fiction that great war between large powers has been forever banished from the earth. Enjoy your booty and new lands. In a way, you deserve them - not due to any innate merit, but due to our collective stupidity and slothfulness. What we face is not unlike what the Polish - Lithuanian knighthood faced in the 1420s, and for many of the same reasons. May God help us.
