Maybe history isn't repeating this time because it's starting to look like the Russian people are wondering if Vlady might have fallen and hit his head.

<br />Hopefully the WWI history won't repeat, but if some of the NATO members have a pact with Ukraine to defend them, it could really hit the fan.
