Andrei Martyanov<\/a>\u00a0has answered my question<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I agree with everything Martyanov says. But I believe my question remains unanswered.<\/p>\n

Probably it is my fault. Perhaps I framed the question so sharply that it came across as an attack on Putin\u2019s level-headed policy. Also, my use of the phrase \u201cturning the other cheek\u201d could have implied denigration of Putin rather than my admiration for his level-headedness and humane approach to his great responsibility.<\/p>\n

I understand Putin\u2019s policy. I agree with Martyanov that it is the only policy that makes sense. I also agree with Martyanov that the correlation of forces has changed dramatically in Russia\u2019s favor. But to use another phrase, I am concerned about the slip between the cup and the lip. I think something needs to be done to halt Washington\u2019s provocations before they become so extreme that matters get out of hand.<\/p>\n

Historically, provocations do tend to get out of hand, more often than not.<\/p>\n

Perhaps Russia has prevented, by exposing it in advance, the false flag chemical attack that Washington had in the works in order to have an excuse for another missile attack on Syria, an attack designed by Washington to disrupt Syria\u2019s elimination of the last stronghold of Washington\u2019s proxy army in Syria. That Washington would actually use an obvious false flag chemical incident to attack Syria a second time in defiance of Russia does not indicate that Washington understands that its power is not what it was. I agree with Martyanov that Washington\u00a0should<\/em>\u00a0understand that, but I am not sure Washington does.
