Putin’s Intentions Aren’t What Matter

Putin’s Intentions Aren’t What Matter | National Review Online:
"What matters is the intent. And we don’t have a sense of that.”
That is what one of Washington’s legion of anonymous “senior government officials” told the Wall Street Journal about the Russian military forces now massing on Ukraine’s border — complemented, of course, by the tens of thousand more Russian troops stationed in what, until just a few days ago, used to be . . . Ukraine.
Clearly, our Beltway gurus have refined a bit of ancient wisdom: 
If you cannot remain silent and proceed to remove all doubt that you are a fool, at least remain anonymous."
