Russian rogue state

The term 'rogue state' was a 1990s neologism that rather fell out of favour for the ill-formulated 'axis of evil'.  But it is no less valid and used to be applied to the likes of North Korea and Iraq, despotic states that operated to their own rules rather than the commonly agreed (or accepted) post-Cold War world order.  As Russia seems intent on ripping up that established order, the term 'rogue state' could equally be applied to it.
Among certain extreme circles on the left and right, Vladimir Putin is a man to be admired and certainly he has done remarkably well with a weak hand (to use a poker term).  In the long-term, his policies may prove disastrous and not just for the world but for Russia too.  But at the moment, he seems untouchable and believes himself untouchable, thus acting accordingly.
Let's consider the evidence.  Two years ago, Russia supplied a Buk surface-to-air missile launcher to the separatists it backed in eastern Ukraine, not content as it was with annexing Crimea - a flagrantly illegal act.  By mistake, the separatists used the Buk to shoot down a civilian airliner, MH17.  Yesterday, the Dutch prosecutor laid the blame firmly on the separatists and on Russia.  Yet nothing will happen as Russia has used its veto power at the United Nations to block an international tribunal on it.
Earlier this month, Russia bombed an aid convoy in Syria - an obvious war crime.  This was supposedly in revenge for America being duped by the Russians into bombing Syrian government soldiers' positions.  But even if the majority of the blame lies with the Americans with that latter act, to destroy an agreed UN-sanctioned aid convoy is the height of barbarity.
Let us not forget the state-sponsored doping programme intended to sabotage Olympics and Paralympics in favour of Russian sportsmen and sportswomen. With every passing year, Putin and his cronies strip every remaining vestige of civil liberties and democracy they can find.  Undoubtedly Russia is now a rogue state.
