Many, me included, thought that Russian dictator Vladimir Putin was saber-rattling to extort the West for favorable actions that would further strengthen Russia on the global stage (and his new friend China, too) while helping the West, led by an impotent and senile American president, to further erode as a world power.
Not only was I wrong, but it also appears Putin is much more dangerous than even I suspected.
All this and pointing the finger of blame...
