of course .. Putin didn't get to where he is by being a poor chess player ..
still think he's going to basically use the "starve" or surrender tactic on Ukrainians ..
Your guess is as good as any. It's difficult to predict anything without some new information/insight. My take is that Putin wants to make it known to friend and foe that he's not going to eff around when it comes to NATO threatening his national security as well as his power and influence in his AO.
I doubt the USA would do any different under any but this administration. I fail to see the advantage or logic in Putin starving the population he seeks to unite or at least influence. I would expect negotiations are ongoing and he's already holding enough cards to get most of what he wants.
so ... 17 members? looks like a group less popular than the local PTA ...
reportedly there is even Neo-Nazi groups in Russia ...
crazy to think these groups exist ..
