[QUOTE="olroadbeech, post: 5190699, member: 52145"] yes that's true but what about what is under the ground? plus Russia feels like they are being hemmed in by NATO. when the Soviet Union broke up they lost about half their GDP plus all that territory, people , etc. They have about the same size economy as Spain now. Their greatest asset is their energy holdings. Putin wants to take back what he thinks is his or back to Russia's former glory. Right now he is very dangerous. Like an animal that has been backed into a corner. I don't see how he can save face .If he backs off that will be seen as defeat. He may be unhinged enough to resort to nuclear weapons. I agree that he should be assassinated by his own people. [/QUOTE]
