It's as though Russia has forgotten the rag-tag poorly armed Afghanistan gang that drove them crazy for years, then drove them right out of the country. It was a costly lesson for Russia.
He wasn’t a genius before this mess. He has failed to develop the Russian economy despite having great natural resources. Things like life expectancy, suicide rates, alcoholism, education, etc are abysmal. I wonder why folks are so quick to like a tin pot dictator (abroad or at home) and confuse bullying with genius. Seems like some people just naturally gravitate to bullies I guess. Lord of the flies with nukes.

I bet a lot of people have no clue what this has to do with it, especially the youngsters.
I’m sure there are a lot of Russians going “WTF” right now and wondering what they are going to do as their guiding business just went down the toilet.With the value of the Ruble...it should be affordable to everyone.
Great movie.
Why would you think any of that was on his to-do list?
We should see photos of him on the lead tank soon. Bayonet in jaw and Adidas fight suit bulging.
