President Putin says: "Western leaders would like to see Russia begging with its "cap in hand". "
"It's not the things we don't know that get us into trouble", said Will Rogers,
"It's the things we do know that ain't so!" Nobody wants to see Russia begging anyone for help. But neither does anyone want to see a revival of the old Soviet Union. Those who refuse to learn from History are condemned to repeat it, and we don't want that to happen.
Russia can and should take its place among the world's greatest nations, but to do so requires it to play by the same rules others do, and not make your own.
The world of today is not like the world of the past. We have problems of survival which will require all of us to work together to reach a solution, and building walls or being confrontational with your neighbors is not the way.
It puzzles and dismays those of us in the rest of the world to see what looks like Russia trying to regress to the bad old days of Stalin, when there is nothing to be gained from it, and much to be lost.
