Putin is discovering that being a leader on an international stage is different than it was in the USSR
All actions have consequences and he is finding out first hand the impact that the western nations can have on a fragile economy.
Bullies did well in the USSR, but on the international stage there are significant consequences
Tough man Putin may poll well in Russia today but as economic sanctions affect the quality of life in Russia, he will feel the impact from the voters. More significantly, Putin will feel the pressure from the capitalists within Russia as they see their global markets drying up
Time will tell if Putin succeeds or fails. But obama's failure has already been established.
While Putin is trying to reconstitute the USSR, Obama is trying to destroy the USA.
I see our economy recovering nicely, how is Putins economy doing?
