That may be and is likely true, but then we're back to my earlier question,


what do we do? Go to war with him? Unify most of the world to try and completely shut him off? And if so, why haven't we been doing that and why haven't we made strides to end the EU's energy dependence on them?

I'm not suggesting he can be turned into a Western style democracy. But we're better served trading and co-existing with him, than going straight to those options IMHO. We do that with China now, albeit with too much of a weak hand IMO. We do that with Vietnam, Saudi Arabia and others now. We argue to do that with Cuba. They don't have to be just like the west to co-exist with the world.
