To the editor:

When relentlessly bad mouthing Vladimir Putin (as we must meticulously continue to do), we must also badmouth his piteous “Inner Circle” lest that they mistakenly entertain the silly notion that when the Day of Reckoning finally arrives and the broadaxe falls upon the neck of their creepy prince, that they will somehow escape the crushing downward thrust thereof.
