Yes he is clever. Loads of people on here are saying that he would not be stupid enough to do it and discounting the possibility accordingly. You have been played, he must be laughing up his sleeve!
You should add the fact that Russia has been up to no good, as well. Cyber attacks and the odd "annexation" - as in "invasion" - of Crimea, etc.

He is probably laughing at all the useful idiots who are blaming the West.

How are they risking the World Cup? It's two months away. There's no way they're changing the venue at this point.
Russia didn't have a problem invading Georgia when they were hosting the Olympics. Why do you think the World Cup would be any different?

Here is an interesting but lengthy article examining the link between the Russian Winter Olympics in Sochi 2014 and the annexation of Crimea:-
Russias InterNational Image - Sochi and the Annexation of Crimea
Perhaps that was what Xcalibur meant?

It is difficult to debate with someone who has such a polarised view.
Patriotism can be a good thing.
Yes, it is good to be sceptical about our own Governments, but don't throw the baby out with the bath water.
And patriotism for your country is not a good thing. It is the reason why we still have tribal warfare and the reason why we are easy to manipalate.
