you may realize that Putin has a different feeling about things. As the author of the article put it... "In any event, Putin is in bobsled mode. He is hurtling down the track; no one can stop him, and he can no longer reverse course. But the more he acts to preserve his power, the more damage he will inflict on his country."

He has an ego larger than his country and I am fearful where that will bring us and him.
