Will Putin Realize That Russia Holds The Cards ?

I think that what is obvious at this point is that Putin will not bow down submissively to the West.
By that I mean the sanctions imposed by the USA and Europe.
Today (Aug. 6) Putin is massing troops on the Ukrainian border,
and has banned certain western imports.
Putin will not win this hand.
Why do you think he will not win this hand ?

What's disgusting is how one government leader can threaten an entire world! I can never understand why people all over the world are so complacent when we have people who are given the power to eliminate humanity with just a simple order.
The innocent people the world over are just sitting ducks! These government leaders use our kids to sacrifice their lives to satisfy their own hunger for power. When will people of the world unite and say enough is enough!
I hope before it`s too late, I wish Ukrainian people would make their government stop the war.

And they wish Putin would do the same with the separatists.

You read silly stuff like this and ask yourself who would believe it? If the US wanted war with Russia it would have gone in when Russia annexed Ukriane and called it a threat to the stability of Europe and its NATO allies. Although why would the US want a war? It would end with a fragmented Russia, with refugees and weapons flowing out of Russias borders, the south would be in total revolt etc. The US prefers Russia how has been. Weak, buying western crap and with no real influence on the global stage. Even now their is concern that even these light santions might lead to fragmented Russia and that is not a mess the US wants to clean up. Russia is quickly becoming North Korea with its the US trying to destroy us while at the same time getting angry the US treats it like minor annoyance. The US knows Russia has enough trouble internaly and that if it really wanted Russia down and out all it would have to do is start providing support for those in Russia who what out.

Difference between North Korea and Russia is that Russia is in an alliance with half the world population (BRICS), so I don`t see them ending up like North Korea.

From what I have heard, Poland are going to be hit hard with one of their major exports and 50% of this export goes straight to Russia and apparently there possibly could be a ban on European flights over Russian airspace but this has not been decided as of yet.
Don't know whether this can be verified, I heard it on a radio show.
