Dec. 5th, 2014 10:50 pmThe bad news is that Russia is fucked up again.
The good news is that, given the typical scale of historical Russian fuckups, the current situation is rather mild. Russia is no longer ruled by a maniac like Stalin, an idiot like Khruschev, an imbecile like Brezhnev, or a drunk like Yeltsin. Lucky for us, Putin's global ambitions are kept in check by his own incompetence.
