65. I hate to say this the Communists of Today's Russia are the most progressive group

They want Russia to improve, they want to crack down on the Oligarchs, they have plans to help the poor of Russia. Thus they continue to win 1/3 of any vote. The Communists are to powerful for Putin to Crush, but not powerful enough to overthrow him. If Putin does anything that harms Russia badly, the Communists will walk into power, thus Putin is careful. Thus Kissinger's comment that the Putin's actions in the Ukraine is one of reaction not action. Putin did not want the overthrow of the Government, and I do not think he would have done anything until the New Government started to make noise about kicking the Russians out of the Crimea AND actually started to do things that indicated they were serious. Putin then reacted by sending in Russian Units to Support the Russian units in the Crimea, and when the Crimea government indicated they disliked what was happening in Kiev, supported they call to join Russia. Putin also "gave" the Crimea Government some help by telling them where they could get volunteers to help them. AND by sending those Volunteers to where the Crimea Government could tell them what to do.

Just a Comment, Russia is not ready for a "Revolution" and if it was, the US would be opposing it for the US does not want the Communists back in control of Russia.
