And you think that the U.S. NATO, and the E.U. should ask Putin how high when he says "Jump"? Because t's okay for him to make demands on much of the world but God forbid those three ever set rules of entry into their own defensive (defending themselves against takeover by Russia) organizations and allow Vlad to set the rules for other nations- what, only Vlad the Great gets to make the rules and all others must obey.

Is that not simply being hypocritical?
