Nassim, and Boogaloo,

The question is not about how well off the Russians are now versus before Putin´s era, no more than the west´s actions should be judged by the buying power of people living in New York or Paris.

As for aggression, here are some new insights into one of Putin´s faces:

Raúl,

Thanks for many excellent posts. I´ve found your writing very informative for quite a while now. But – I´m writing to express my disappointment with much of your writings on Russia. Sadly I´m now finding it childishly one-dimensional, in a less crude but similar fashion as ZeroHedge´s low quality commentary on the situation. To be clear, I´m with you on most of your criticism on the West´s manner and hypocritical dealings towards Russia. Yet I am dissapointed with how far you go in washing up Putin´s own hypocritical and corrupt dealings. I believe there is a third dialogue here, one that does justice to the faults of both regimes, the aggression of both regimes.

With regards, from Reykjavik.
