Related: About this forumWill Russia Revolt? Garry Kasparov
Seems to be more about pushing the US to call Putin's bluff. I am still torn on this. Seems as long as Putin is bogged down in Ukraine his hole gets deeper but I am open to hearing both sides more and more on this.

I've always thought religion was at the heart of it.
