days when the russians were looking for acceptance by the west, seeking membership of the world trade organizationes like that, you could actually have deployed the sort of freezing out strategy, perhaps with more effect than one can now. the problem is vladimir putin feels, i think, supremely confident of his geopolitical position, by working with the chinese at the united nations security council, he's headed a whole risk of action there to vors bashar al assad out of power. he projects himself as a strong leader on the world stage to the domestic leadership in russia and appeals to many russian voters. he knows at the end of the day barack obama is a here today gone today figure. vladimir putin has already demonstrated he's more than willing to play fast and loose with the russian constitution in order to secure his own -- the longevity of his own power base. so he's working to a different series of time frames, a different agenda. that makes it incredible whiy difficult to get into his head and actually have a policy with impact. >> that's right. or to ignore him. you're so right. simon, thank
