Speed bump, bad move, can’t end well.
Interesting squib this week... Finland is closely watching Russian ambitions. Russia invaded Finland once before. It didn’t end well for the Russians but it didn’t turn out so well for the Finns either.
Things are not safe. The bear is on the prowl and the oil price situation will wound him and make him even more testy.
Watch a few Russian videos... the people are more nationalistic and reckless drunks than ever before from what I see. Vlad is going to have to give them something to do to stay on seat.
Putin could see this as a challenge and moves to up the ante, then what?
