Dear Paul, I have followed you for months now and you are right, he is so predictable.
ReplyDeleteHowever, you end your article with A: "If the Russian people believe that Ukraine set off a dirty bomb" B " it doesn’t matter much what other countries think."
I agree that as long as the Russian people believe it, his popularity in Russia remains fine and his cling to power remains easy to maintain.
But I think that what other people/countries think matters a lot.
Or are we saying that his plans are to plant nuclear in rebel areas so that he would then inflict nuclear however small this may be, via the rebels, to create economic unrest in western eu countries ?
