[POLL] Who is to blame, and what should be done?

Yes, exactly. This is what political talent is all about – finding a non-obvious solution to a bad situation, then convincing the participants that it is in their best interests, and then convincing the audience that it is not a betrayal, but a victory. Yes, not everyone can do it. Most people already have problems at the first stage. Your reaction illustrates this. And, of course, there will always be smart alecks who say, "But if you had gone with the bubey then," who have never resolved a similar situation in their lives, and if they did try, they only made things worse. Therefore, the last stage is to have a philosophical attitude towards them.
