Thanks for your email.
My first reaction is that Russia was very late quitting monarchy - less than a hundred years ago.
And when they did, they shunned any sort of representative government, resorting instead to an even more rigid form of authoritarianism.
It is not accidental that Putin is a former KGB chief.
"Meet the new boss, same as the old boss."
As Putin's geo-polito-economic stupidity takes an increasing toll on Russia's economy -- and as the Russian people come to relate his swashbuckling in Ukraine with their empty wallets -- Vlad's prospects will head south.
In part, I mention this because the analogous stupidity of American conservatives will simply shift its attention to the next political "hot potato" with no recognition that Ukraine was a tempest in a teapot, Benghazi was a tempest in a teapot, Ebola was a tempest in a teapot, the high cost of gasoline under Obama was a tempest in a teapot, the recent executive order on immigration was a tempest in a teapot, etc. ad infinitum. (ISIS isn't quite a tempest in a teapot - yet - but it's closer than most people think.)

I imagine you've seen the following Bill Maher shtick. If not, it approximates a Fifth Gospel.

They have terrible government in Russia. Why? All white and Christian, just like us, and they write big brilliant novels, they produce chess masters and ballet dancing, yet they often are drunk and live in misery. Why?
