Well Rob, your cristalball just doesn't make sense. Its a bit lopsided and disregards
any kind of class analisis of what forces are in motion and the move behind all this
stuff. My cristalball says that this war certainly must be seen in relationship of the
various figueheads like "Putin" which you mention. But you fail to recognize that in
order to pull this off he needs the support of broad masses and parties in Russia.
Seems to me that the propaganda machine in Moscow are hardly talking about Putin
becoming a lackey of American imperialism. But a wave of anti western, anti American
propaganda are connected to all of this stuff.
