The West Has Cornered Putin—and That's When He's Most Dangerous (Julie Ioffe) from the New Republic
"Today is not a good day to be Vladimir Putin. A game that the Russian president was winning so deftly in the spring has turned on him in summer: The Ukrainian military is bearing down on the pro-Russian separatists in east Ukraine, and there’s word that it’s on the verge of splitting the rebel-held territory in two and that two major rebel leaders have fled."
"Cornered"? No. In a tighter spot than he expected. Probably. "Most dangerous"? COME ON! This is the kind of hyperventilating media rhetoric that grabs eyeballs and clicks ... and needlessly torques up anxiety.
