What's wrong with Putin?
Now is not the time to go wobbly, boy. You CORRECTLY arrested the ecopirates for piracy. Piracy is piracy. Boarding a vessel at sea is piracy, even when it's done for COOL reasons.
The CORRECT followup, the ZERO PROBLEMS step, would have been to shoot the pirates as soon as they were safely away from the vessel.
Now that you've dropped the charges, you've not only failed to supply justice, you've diluted your national sovereignty and strengthened the enemies of humanity and destroyers of civilization. They're doing a satanic victory dance.

Of course I'm not in any position to second-guess a competent leader; I'm really trying to observe and learn from apparent mysteries. Russia has already gone through the inevitable collapse that resulted from sticking with an ideology. Putin's mission is to pull Russia out of the collapsed condition. Some of his moves are puzzling, just as some of Stalin's moves were puzzling. In both cases I have to assume that the move is aimed at improving Russia's position, and try to learn from it. America is still on the leftward path toward our collapse. Different ideologies ... Russia followed Marx to suicide, we're following Gramsci to suicide ... same destination.
