Shame of the West?

One of my Finnish friends said "This week I've become quite intensely ashamed of being a European, and if you happen to be one too then so should you. It wouldn't take an awful lot to give Russia's economy the little nudge that would make it collapse in its own built-in kleptocratic shitness, and thereby make the rest of the world a somewhat better place."

Harsh on the Russians who don't agree with the policies advocated from Moscow.  Tens of thousands of Russians marched through the capital against the Crimean aggression, putting at risk their lives and liberties.  No surprise that the authorities labelled the protestors as little better than traitors.  If we continue in the spirit adopted by Vladimir Putin and his coterie, Finland should annex Vyborg and rename it Viipuri. Putin can't complain because once upon a time Finland owned it for 410 years (1323-1710 and 1917-1940), knocking into a cocked hat Russia's rule over Crimea of 171 years (1783-1954). Okay, 387 of those years was under Swedish domination but Finland is the successor state in the space vacated by Stockholm (through the unusual medium where the Russian tsar was merely the Grand Duke of Finland - taking into account Russian rule, Finnish ownership of Viipuri can be extended another 108 years).  This shouldn't overly concern us though; after all, the view from the Kremlin has this as the new normal.  The trouble is Russia has lots of (ageing) nukes - the USA is probably treading carefully because it wants to maintain the arrangement where US officials can check the safety of the silos (the treaty was renewed as recently as 2009). Germany is treading carefully because Russia has it over a barrel, (almost) literally, through energy dependency.
