Ex-KGB VIP and supreme ruler of Russia Vladimir Putin—let’s call him Volodya—is always scheming. He channels Machiavelli but only serves his sociopathic self as prince. He had managed to annex a large part of the Ukraine with negligible reaction from the West; he’s biding his time on the old “socialist republics” of the U.S.S.R. he believes to belong under Moscow rule too, but they have to be nervous after Ukraine; and he is doing Assad’s dirty work in order to maintain influence in the Arab world (will Syria and Egypt be Russia’s next marionettes?).
Under the good-old-boy guise of attacking ISIS, Volodya is attacking everyone trying to end Assad’s cruel regime, including Kurds (the Turks say thank you and are currently aligning with Russia against the U.S.) and Syrian freedom fighters, who don’t belong to ISIS. He is currently launching attacks from Iran, which means that the Russians have some sort of secret agreement with that Shi’ite government. That should worry the Saudi royalty who have always supported the Sunni side and are currently doing so in Yemen. This charismatic, narcissistic, and homophobic Russian leader has enshrined destabilization as the cornerstone of his foreign policy efforts. It’s hard to make sense of it all. And that’s his tactic!
A photon checks into a hotel and the bellhop asks him if he has any luggage. The photon replies, “No, I’m travelling light.”
