Whatever you have been smoking or imbibing, it's clearly done a great job. Unfortunately your dreams of a Russian reformation are far too optimistic; the more probable scenario is that Putin succeeds in turning Russia into an enormous gulag, that at least 80% of ordinary Russians continue to believe Kremlin propaganda, and that because of Western feebleness we end up with a catastrophic stalemate that lasts for a generation. Yes, Russia will eventually fragment into a series of smaller States each ruled by a thuggish overlord, but that is at least a decade away. Until then, the horrors will continue because we in the West are too spineless and too short-sighted to understand what really needs to be done. We will settle for appeasement, because that's the easiest option and we tend to do whatever is easiest in the longer run regardless of the terrible consequences.
