Putin: Great Visionary or Just Lost

[Magda Hassan]

Putin is already a global player. Which is resented by the west. However there is some confusion. He is not Yeltsin and he is not Stalin either. I also think this needs to be seen in the recent context of set backs in Argentina and Venezuela. I can understand China's frustration. Which cannot be more than those in the Donbass. There should be a plebiscite there and be done with it. The west will never accept it any way any more than they accepted Crimea and Russia need to stop trying to appeal to western approval or acceptance. The neo-cons will only ever accept Russia as a pliant vassal state. There has been at least a couple of decades of US neo-con managers who have had the run of the place and their influence and imposed structures needs to be purged for the most part. This is not an easy thing to do. But not impossible. There is still much of the previous structure there for the uncovering. I can say more but I have to go now.
