Saner heads in the Kremlin will not this dying rabid dog to launch squat so he can huff and puff and bluster all he wants.
I occasionally check up on a slavishly pro-Kremlin blog run by some tubby Russian ex-pat hawk who hilariously advocates the death of the West from Florida. I guess Moscow was too cold. The fan base in the comments section there is fundamentalist and quite apocalyptic. Some favor a first strike that takes out the East and West coasts of the USA as the best chance for Putin Land to survive. It’s pretty disturbing. It’s a testament to the 1st Amendment that people like that aren’t rounded up.
