Whatever We Might Think- Putin Is Playing Hardball For The Long Game

President Obama issued public sanctions last Monday.
By Tuesday Putin was in our hemisphere, in Cuba by the way.
By Wednesday, Mr. Putin was in Argentina.
Thank heavens he didn't find himself chatting up the Venezuelans.
I'm old enough to have felt a paranormal of the terror we endured during "the Cuban missile crisis."
Perhaps Putin wants to avenge Krushev's aims for Russia.
On the other hand, I heard Krushev's grandaughter, Nina Krusheva, a Russia expert (go figure) say
Putin wants to show the world that if the U.S. can cross the seas to unseat and hang the leader of a
foreign country, and start a lengthy war in that country under false pretenses, then he can as well.
