Yes. :)
Russia assumed that it could keep up with the US during the Arms race and debted itself into oblivion.
However, I cannot say that Putin will make any fatal mistakes. He’s a very smart man and probably quite learned in Russian history. If any Russian leader makes any errors, it probably won’t be him.

I agree. Putin is just basking in the sun of a weak and rudderless USA, under the helm of Barky Obumbo.
I suspect that tweaking Obumbo is now his favorite game.
