Putin's done what no previous Russian leader could do - bring Russia to the brink of irrelevance on the world stage and turn it into a failed pariah state. The only reason they matter at all at this point is because of their inherited nuclear arsenal and the use of their dwindling technical reserves to make new and awful weapons of mass destruction with which to hold the world hostage.

Now if only China, India and most of Europe weren't buying Russia's oil and natural gas ...
