They have failed in domestic policies so spectacularly that they must look outside for something to blame. There is Russia, as ever, a convenient scapegoat.

The real question is will they dash themselves against the rocks of Russia kinetically once again? Either way they are in the middle of a suicidal fit of irrelevance. They have destroyed their own future by throwing away their energy security. They are in the process of a permanent political fracture as the masks of democracy and tolerance slip to reveal the same old facism beneath.

Perhaps it would be better for them to just suicide by Russian cop sooner, they seem to have their glory days after Russia smacks them down.
