Now that the economy is stalling out and they’re caught between cheap Russian gas and angry US diplomats on the world stage, the only card he has left to play is “Let’s see how pissed off I can make 15% of my native population and all of my neighbors”.
For anyone who isn’t a die-hard Hinduvista, this fails to deliver much appeal.
