What really worries me is the fact that Putin is ex KGB, and a nutter to boot, I know "MAD" is supposedly the thing that will stop this, but when a nutter has control over a nuclear arsenal, then it is a whole new ballgame. I put him of the same ilk as Hitler, imagine what he would have done with nukes, the mind boggles.
Interesting times ahead, let sane heads prevail for all our sakes.
