Agreed. I'm really wondering if this isn't a way to expose the deep state/cabals of the world. If Russia refuses to agree to any kind of terms without evidence and holds the line without aggression until that evidence is presented, then the poison has to be traced back to the real culprit. I don't believe for a moment that Putin himself would do something so stupid, but it could be that he has his own deep state/cabal to deal with.
