Ignatius: ‘Putin Is President Payback’

EXCERPT:

IGNATIUS: "I think, John, you -- you hit one of the key points, that Putin feels threatened by an advancing NATO. He wants to chip away at the periphery. He is trying to pull Turkey away from a close NATO alliance as we speak. Putin is -- is -- is president payback. He has said the catastrophic event of his lifetime was the fall of the Soviet Union. And he is trying to put back Soviet style Russian influence month by month."
