Putin is a Psychopath, he will do what serves his personal short term interests, and his obsession with power, and evil, and his own grandiosity.
“Vladimir Putin’s Greek urns claim earns ridicule”
“Russian PM ‘discovers’ two amphorae in shallow waters on the floor of the Black Sea in latest stage of televised heroics
When a scuba-diving Vladimir Putin found two ancient Greek urns on the floor of the Black Sea this week, it seemed a startling discovery. In his latest spurt of televised heroics, the Russian prime minister raised a triumphant thumb as he circled the pair of amphorae in shallow waters off the Taman peninsula near Ukraine.
The find came to “everyone’s utter surprise”, claimed the slavishly devotional Russia Today and other state-controlled TV channels. Once on dry land, Putin posed in his wetsuit with a jug in each hand.
But independent media and Russia’s lively blogosphere are now ridiculing the incident, in a sign of increasing weariness of Putin’s macho photo ops – such as bare-chested fishing, piloting a “water bomber” over forest fires and diving to the bottom of lake Baikal in a mini-submarine.”
Putin would be a comic figure if he wasn’t so dangerous. One can only hope that Russia will get better leadership someday.
