Syrian bear trap for Putin
Russian President Vladimir Putin has voluntarily and knowingly drawn Russia into the Syrian conflict. But the war in Syria is not “hybrid,” having a definite religious character (the Sunnis against the Shiites), therefore it can actually drown Putin’s regime no later than in 2017. Ironically, at the moment, Putin is doing everything to speed up his own end.
Russia on the brink
Russia has come close the important crossroads in history: the way it is going to move on will determine its fate in the coming decades. Russian political elite and those of the few Russian citizens, whose minds were not burned out by propaganda napalm, perceive the forthcoming resolution of the story quite differently.
China finishes Putin
One of the main and latest surprises for cornered Russian President Vladimir Putin is China’s harsh pragmatism. The country denied friendly merger with the Kremlin and its anti-Western coalition. Beijing assessed the global game around Russia correctly and promptly, deciding to further squeeze the most out of the Putin regime, while giving nothing substantial in return. The Chinese dragon descends from the mountains in order to get its share of the rapidly weakening Russia.
While Europe slept
The sleep of reason brings forth monsters, says the Spanish proverb, which is also the idea behind Goya’s etching from his Caprichos cycle. The sleep of Europe’s reason brought forth a monster in the Putin regime of the current chief of the Kremlin. That was almost directly the thought voiced recently by Swedish ex-Foreign Minister Carl Bildt in an interview with Radio Liberty.
Life without Putin
A flock of "black swans" was on its way back home to Russia from Ukraine’s Donbas and Crimea exactly at the time of the anniversary of the latter’s annexation. The number of unpredictable events of crucial importance for Russia’s political system and its prospects exceeded the controlled limit. The Kremlin has failed to resist, this just like its chief, Vladimir Putin - the murder of Boris Nemtsov was the straw that broke the camel's back.
