  1. All the King’s horses, all the King’s men. You broke it, you bought it, Vladi.

  2. Could Pootie-Poot be worried about international backlash? A bit late.

  3. Seriously. Putin had what he needed months ago when Europe allowed him to annex Crimea. That wasn’t enough for him, and he’s really waist deep in it now. It’s always fascinating to watch the puppet master realize that the puppets are no longer responding to the strings.
