As much as I hated the narrative that Putin installed Trump, I have always disliked KGB Putin and saw his moves in Ukraine and Crimea nothing more than a march into Poland. It’s the domino effect all over again. If we don’t stop him, after the Ukraine it will be Lithuania, then Poland.
Putin looks yet like a pride and power driven man.
A dalliance on his part with Islam is like letting an alcoholic into a wine cellar. It supersedes other matters in degree of danger.
Almost any compromise is preferable to encouraging that to play out further.
