I feel the struggle to contain the internal unrest in Russia over the last few years has pushed VP toward trying to galvanise the country and strengthen nationalism by cultivating a common enemy that he has some chance of beating in any conflict. Problem is, he is only pandering to the old and the gullible within his own country. The "good old days" were not the good old days.
I must admit, that I did not take the issue that seriously, as it's very hard to believe the western media that lie and distort so often. For once, their hyperbole actually turned out to be fairly accurate!!! To counter that, the posters on here spreading fear and lies, still always turn out to be exactly what they seem! Big lesson learnt, I should have gone in even heavier this week:-)
