What Putin is at present moment can only be described as cornered and/or pushed back and/or isolated from prior revenue sources. He can do much, much more damage, and is very timely and predictable in his responses, or lack of. So much so that based on his escalating rhetoric and actions in various time frames, long to short, one should be able to very plainly foresee his next moves, all building on a magnificent crescendo of moral reservation abandonment, admitting some are still in the way of him totally and completely lashing out.

No doubt the decision of fully opposing him has already been made. Prepare to brace yourself, as a very backward future is shaping up.
