Crisis in Ukraine | National Catholic Reporter by MSW.  MGB: Putin or no Putin, Russia is as it was - a backward third world country that always seems two steps behind.  Its backwardness is not judged by who is there but by the fact that the best they have usually leave at first chance.  We've always known this, which is why the Cold War was a farce to enrich U.S. military suppliers and their investors.  I am sure they are lining up greedily at the trough, even as we write.  If you have any doubts, just look at the last Jack Ryan movie.
