Refreshing to find someone capable of succinct thought.
I always enjoy his insightful take on events. Not sure about his taste in ties though.
Some of the Kremlin Janes need to look at his map a little closer.
Putin has been working to plug those blue access points for the last 20 years since he seized power. He is not going to stop voluntarily, no matter what the "Useful Idiots" in the West claim. He has already subjugated the "stans", Chechnya and Belarus into vassal states. He is trying for Ukraine now. Look at that map and you can see why Poland and the Baltic States see themselves as next on the chopping block.
NATO didn't expand towards russia's borders as much as all the bordering states next to russia begged NATO for protection from a mass-murdering expansionist dictator. For good reason obviously. NATO simply didn't turn their back on them and let them get swallowed by the russian menace.
As long as putin(spit) still has young male russian warm bodies to throw at it, he won't stop. We either eliminate putin(spit) or eliminate his stockpile of young male russian warm bodies. I'm OK with either solution.
The best solution of course would be for russia(spit) to simply withdraw to it's own borders and stay there. But while putin breaths, that won't happen.
