I hear you guys. I gave up watching the news too. Too much drama over little crap. I wonder if they are seeing a decline in ratings? We can't be the only one. I still read the news online, but I get to skip over crap that I think is overblown. Watching the news and you are stuck with their hyped up drama on their schedule.

I hear that Putin is not actually planning to step down, constitution or not. This more aggressive stance my be a calculation to keep the wolves at bay as it were. I mean western criticism for the Putin doctrine, ie constitution and elections be damned. If the Russians are perceived as a powerful force and the memories of the cold war are ignited, perhaps the west won't put up much of a fuss if Putin remains in office. The names change but the politics at the top remains the same in Russia.

Just my thought.
