What I'm seeing happpen in the Ukraine and Syria by Putin is similar to what Louis the XIV of France did. Claiming territory that was historical of other countries and trying to build France as the dominant power in Europe, he invertily cause the war of Spanish Succession. Putin doing the same thing, except he's creating ( knowingly or unknowingly) the seeds for a war that Russia can't win on it's own. With Chechnya, China looking towards Siberia, and now possibly Ukraine, he could loss every thing he work hard to gain.
