I read Ruth's essay before yours today Tom. Sobering is a mild descriptor. This is going to play out and no-one knows just how, it could be a disgruntled lone actor or maybe the Generals decide that they have had enough, either way chaos is likely to play a very strong hand with a lot of nuclear weapons thrown into the mix. What we are watching, in all likelihood, was set in motion the day that putin invaded Ukraine, all along I have thought that he was iniating his own death sentence and we may be about to witness it. Russia seems to be too big to govern except by an iron hand, and we may see it fracture into ethnically exclusive zones, time will tell, there will be a lot of score settling in the meantime. What goes around comes around as they say.
