Watching a PBS doc on Putin, he’s in a situation where he’s rinsed so much money that he can never relinquish power because he would be so fucked by the next incumbent. He built a big fuck off palace for himself near Sochi.
It seems analysts are so confused by this Ukranian play they cannot see and end game for him or at least cant offer him a credible climb down.
The Gerhard Schroeder thing is scandallous also, Germany lent money to Russia to build the gas pipeline that is supplying them and Europe gas. Schroeder when left office became Chairman of the gas pipe company. The greedy sausage munching schweinhund.
