Putin seems to think that he wants the sandbox to be the same size it was at that arbitrary instant he seems to think was the height of historical significance and he seems to think of shit as any sign of disobedience to leadership.
We might wonder why the silly Lindsey Graham plea doesn't work. People with some power - enough to get close to Putin - have too much to lose.
