Thanks in part to the foreign policy sophistries of the War on Terror and an opportunist leader like Putin, Russia is slowly and all but surely moving back to a pre-1989 state of affairs. And until the current Ukraine debacle, there has barely been a peep out the the US. Remember when Kerry tried to bring up the topic of Putin during one of the debates and all he received in answer from the President and the American public was a blank stare?
Could it be that the so-called victory declared by the West in the Cold War was premature? That the Old Guard, the apparatchiks within the Soviet monster discovered the best way to survive was to receed into the shadows and wait for a gullible US President and a suitable international cause to re-emerge and begin recreating the old corrupt - but stable - Russian empire?
