It has not helped that since world war one their leaders have been paranoid that the West is out to destroy them. Lets face it the West has enough of its own problems to deal with these days.<br /><br />A system that will throw a punk band in jail for being critical and then appears to be unwilling to help when 300 or so inocent people are killed cant be good.

Will Putin be ousted for his role in this via his mad power-grab and bizarre disdain of the seemingly everyone leftover from the resentment he felt as a KGB watching the USSR fall?<br />The power paradigm in the world and within politics in general leave me very pessimistic. I wish there was something, some nugget of hope I could offer you or myself but right now, all I can do is keep my head down and hope to not be noticed by the power-mad among us.

And at present it is looking like a public relations disaster for Russia on the world stage. <br /><br />As always the ordinary man in the street has no say.

You have summed it up most eloquently. I...Hi Rob,<br /><br />You have summed it up most eloquently. Indeed, accident, a misjudgement, nonetheless, something that shouldn't be happening, regardless. Let those who corrupt with propaganda get into a ring and slug it out. <br /><br />It does seem that Malaysian Airlines should not have been flying off a war zone. Tragically, it has showed how risky it is.<br /><br />Peaceful, hopeful wishes for a better world, good sir.<br /><br />Gary klahaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08613505424843475639noreply@blogger.com
