Rogue elements

This is likely to get messy. As you know, if you've been reading this blog for long, I don't have a lot of faith in Putin's commitment to democratic principles. So you might think that Mr. Berezovsky and I are on the same page.

We're not.

Berezovsky might 'rescue' Russia from ex-KGB thug Putin, but poor Russia would be going from frying pan to fire. Berezovsky -ubercapitalist that he is- would likely turn Russia into a neocon free-for-all. And given the amount of nuclear weapons and fissionable material that went (and is still) missing after the USSR fell, this would make for very unstable, very unpleasant times for many of us here on Earth.
