numerous international laws and treaties. He needs to stop thinking that what his neighbors have is his property. He needs to stop thinking that an ethnic group that is more of a cousin to his ethnicity are one and the same people with his people. He needs to stop being paranoid and thinking the world is out to get him and Russia. He needs to stop this delusional stupor that is afflicting him. He needs to stop moving the world toward a conflict that possibly will escalate well beyond anything that anyone (except maybe Vlad?) wants.

I visited the USSR in the late '80s before it fell - with my grandmother and her amazing peace group. And there was such hope back then under Gorbachev through his policies of Glasnost and Perestroika - transparency and openness - so seeing what's happening now to the Russian people and is threatening the rest of the world is heartbreaking.

Gives him an international broadcasting and feeds his ego…

So I think it’s safe to say sometime after Feb 4th we can expect the short little man to try to start WW3
