Remember that many in Washington want regime change in Russia and the break up of the Russian Federation. I do too, but only if it happens without foreign involvement.

Paul Massaro's tweets annoy me more than I can say. His grin makes it worse. 

He is a senior policy adviser for the U.S. Helsinki Commission, also known as the Commission on Security and Cooperation in Europe, which is a Congressional body. I used to see his tweets all the time because people I follow like him but I have unfollowed those people.

Quite a few people in Washington see this war as a providential way of undermining and removing Vladimir Putin.
