Russia is a terrorist state plain and simple. Anyone who has to use lies and deceit and every nefarious means available is not selling anything good. Putin wants to destabilize EU, NATO, NORAD etc and take eventually invade countries on the periphery of these orgs. Russia is the largest state in the world achieved through massive ethnic cleansing, gulags, pogroms and holocausts and yet it (Putin) still needs more land to rebuild its evil empire.
