Ilyin is a nazi, if you don’t know. Purist.

Snyder “In an article published in Moskovskie Novosti in 2012, Putin envisioned Russia overcoming the European Union and bringing its members into a larger entity that would extend from Lisbon to Vladivostok.” Why don’t leaders get this Putin won’t stop until he’s stopped

Putin and the entire Russian military are a bunch of fat, spoiled, soft dinosaurs who look to past days of "glory" to give them meaning today, but doing so is another in a series of miscalculations.
