"The deaths of hundreds or thousands mean little to him. He doesn’t honor agreements, respect laws and customs, or accept any restraint on his actions, unless it temporarily advances his purpose. … The Prigozhin affair should underscore the nature of Putin, and warn us that we must avoid wishful thinking and take him ever more seriously."
My aunt, Wesley Clark's 5th-grade teacher, would be very proud. She always spoke fondly of "little Wesley Clark."
