Crimean War Redux

[Stalin]

"...the war was not the result of a calculated plan, nor even of hasty last-minute decisions made under stress. It was the consequence of more than two years of fatal blundering in slow-motion by inept statesmen who had months to reflect upon the actions they took...."

Shepard Clough, professor of history at Columbia University

Full marks to Vlad Putin for sticking it to the bully-boy finance industry and their lickspittle satraps in Wall Street and Washington.

Let the media firestorm begin.

The original Crimean War, which resonates in the current situation, can be initially studied at the usual place.
