As it became clear on Monday, Putin’s operation in Syria on forcing the West to return to a dialog with isolated Russia has failed miserably. Putin really hoped that the “war with terrorism” in Syria would help to find common grounds with the civilized world that has kicked Russia out for its aggression in Ukraine. To Putin’s surprise, extermination of Syrian population by Russian warplanes wasn’t considered by the West as “war with terrorism”, and on October 3, 2016, USA suspended any negotiations with Russia.

The latter insulted Putin so much that he cancelled the agreement with USA on disposal of weapons-grade plutonium. The agreement was signed in 2000 and assumed gradual disposal of Russian excessive military grade plutonium by USA (about 500 tons (!) of military grade plutonium were left in Russia after USSR fell apart). By canceling this agreement Russia has returned to its usual tactics of nuclear threat, since there is absolutely nothing else with which barbarian Russia can influence the civilized world.

But Putin’s hysteria is not the funniest part of this story. The funniest part is the list of conditions that USA will have to fulfill in order to return the nuclear deal with Russian Empire back. 
Here is the list. It looks more like a list of wishes to Santa Claus – the more wishes the better. 

Dear Mr. Obama, you must:
1) Cancel all sanctions against Russia;
2) Compensate Russia for losses resulting from your sanctions;
3) Compensate Russia for losses resulting from Russia’s own counter-sanctions;
4) Reduce your military presence in NATO countries near Russia’s border;
5) Cancel the 2012 Magnitsky Act, which punishes Russian corruptionists as violators of human rights.
