Reply: Well, we have differences obviously. I don't think that Putin has any problem with lawlessness. He is all too happy to please the most lawless regime in the world, namely the USA. I believe that Russia has material interests in the Caucusus that are crucial to capital accumulation. It uses all sorts of excuses about bandits and Islamic radicalism to maintain control over profit-generating assets. In any case, I believe that I have made this point in all the detail it deserves so this will be my last post on the topic.
