Zuckerberg seems confident he doesn't need to really give a crap. FB will be fine either way. Why bother? He's got better things to do with his time.

IMHO, it's bluff. There's evidence to suggest that that a frank discussion would be an extreme liability for him, and for facebook.

Here's a lengthy timeline of his many publicly verified interactions with Putin's lackeys, and the financial support they have provided facebook:

Or is it more likely that he's counting on having his eggs in more baskets than just the Facebook one? I don't think he doesn't give a crap because he thinks Facebook is invincible.
Will it be fine? Stock market shaved 10 percent of it's market cap on this. I suppose if you're a $500bn or $450bn company you'll be fine either way... But this is only a week... So time will tell how far the negative press goes with this... And ultimately how many of it's 2bn users actually care.
