In his negotiations with Mr. Poroshenko of Ukraine, the Russysia's Mr. Putin appears to be willing to talk some. Oh, the strategy; oh, the public persona; Oh, the Communist/Dictator type moves.
BORING.
Come on, Vladi. Remember Henry Kissinger? He just turned 90, and even he remembers Stalin. Oh, sure, you were born after Uncle Joe passed, but his several followers were cast in the same mold until Glasnost.
So, don't stomp your little feets and fret about losing the world stage to Heaven- seeking Islamist insurgents; just go with it. Pretend it's Eastern Orthodox destiny at play here. Try as one might, events are often beyond the control of Russyia's head of state.
The map of nation states in the Arab world is being redrawn as we speak. They will not consult Mr. Putin. They will consult with Iran, Egypt, Syria, Turkey, Iraq, Lebanon, Jordan, and mayby Kazahkstan. It's summer anyway. Go to Sochi and take the waters; or to your latest acquisition- Crimea. I hear the goat is exquisite.
