    The influence of the oligarchs is overstated. They are not the noblemen of old with private armies that they can use to rebel. They are merely sources of wealth for Putin. Banks and other corporations in the west are very complicit in the rise of this criminal organization in Moscow. However not a single person will be called to account, sadly.

    Therefore there is enough justification for an attack from NATO against Russia, and lets hope its fast and destructive enough to stop this war criminal quickly.

    Putin has his own “ Praetorian “ guard but there’s a reason he sits 20-40 feet from people when in meetings. Putin is also aware that there are a number of creative ways to remove opposition. I think it pleases him to inflict maximum pain to those he considers his enemy. This makes him very dangerous to those around him. They, the MAIN Russian figures in the military and their Intelligence agencies, must work together, quickly before they end up being “detained “ in a Stalin style camp!

    This entire dialogue is wide of relevant. It would be wiser to explain that those with money are Putin's tseloviki. The oligarchs; Khodorkovskii, Berezovsky, Gusinsky; have had their assets seized by Putin and given to the tseloviki. The tseloviki have no power or influence because they understand how they got their wealth and that Putin would remove them if he desired

    Well nobody blames Russia for wanting a buffer that keeps a buffer between Russia and the west. It’s a no brainer the USA would not allow Russia to be able to camp out in Mexico or Canada. I totally understand that. What I can’t understand is targeting the regular people. The United States has invaded countries too. What the USA did not do is target places that civilians were living or sheltering. The USA only took out civilian homes when they had good intelligence that something or someone was in that building. Russia is laying waste with indiscriminate bombing just like WWII or even worst to think is that he is targeting women and children .
