I think I don't know what a Duma Deputy is, and I don't really care.
What matters is what Vladimir Putin says.
I don't think that Russia is going to try to take over Europe. They are in dire straights with a high negative population rate, and an economy that is based almost exclusively on energy resources.
I think Putin is acting in the best interests of his country, and I appreciate that, even if I don't like war or the use of force. The fact is that there is potentially huge amounts of natural gas under the black sea to the east of the Crimea and the west was starting to develop it.
And the pipelines to deliver their products to Europe went through Ukraine.
And Ukraine shut off all the fresh water supply to Crimea.
