All right, gentleperchildren, let's review. The year is 2024 - that's two-zero-two-four, as in the 21st Century's perfect vision - and I am sorry to say the world has become a pussy-whipped, Brady Bunch version of itself, run by a bunch of still-masked clots ridden infertile senile sissies who want the Last Ukrainian to die so they can get on with the War on China, with some middle-eastern genocide on the side

I was and still am entirely convinced that he decided to come back for Presidency because of Arab Spring.
And I agree with your theory that it scared him and his gang shitless but I think you overestimate the threat projected from US on to their entourage.
Dont underestimate the inner political lobby and rivalry which then was still quite potent.
Well, Medvedev went all-in with "cooperation with West" party bet, and he was only exploited for that - with Libya, with Georgia War, with Mistrals, and on many other points. They failed to gain both domestic popularity AND significant Western concessions to get commercial interests on board.
So, yeah, in the end West failing to cooperate only allowed for Putin option.
I dont think they "dont realize it".
Or better, I dont want to believe it.
Let's put it this way, it's one of the two:
1) The US foreign policies are being handled by a group or extremely simple and slow people.
2) The chaos they unleashed was deliberate.

Whoops, didn't mccain mention that?Taking their tractors to Tallinn, Estonian farmers are demanding more support from the government.
Farmers Europe-wide have been hit by slumping prices, partly because of a Russian ban on EU food imports – imposed in response to EU sanctions against Moscow.
The Baltic States have been been worst hit by Russia’s riposte.
aww poor things...
Perhaps its both? The Obama administration was touting it's "success" in Yemen pretty much right up until the Saudis invaded (with US help) - an invasion that is accomplishing nothing besides helping Al Qaeda and ISIS will racking up a devastating toll of war crimes and humanitarian catastrophe.
I'm currently wondering if Obama and Co. are going to go on ignoring the disaster they helped create in Ukraine (which they're been rather silent on of late) or it they're stupid enough to poke that again while Syria is still boiling.
"In today’s America, conservatives who actually want to conserve are as rare as liberals who actually want to liberate. The once-significant language of an earlier era has had the meaning sucked right out of it, the better to serve as camouflage for a kleptocratic feeding frenzy in which both establishment parties participate with equal abandon" (Taking a break from the criminal, incompetent liars at the NSA, to bring you the above political observation, from The Archdruid Report.)
Pretty funny interview with Zhirinovsky with some over-the-top sabre-rattling (war between Russia and Germany in June 2016!)

Google translation isn't that terrible.
The initial event was over a year and a half ago, and this thread has gotten huge. Due to it getting huge it has also gotten really damn slow. On top of that, the last thousand pages or so have been the same group of people going in circles.
If people want to discuss latest developments with Putin and Russia, there is already a thread: http://www.mmo-champion.com/threads/...-you-have-done
