“The U.S. ambassador to NATO has said Russian President Vladimir Putin has a “sick and twisted and probably not logical” mind. “
That could explain how he let Zelensky outsmarted him.
FR Putinistas will go in full meltdown! LOL
The majority of national leaders seem to be that way. Most of them would qualify as Megalomaniacs.
That level of power over people tends to corrupt the one holding the power for a sustained period of time.
Russia is nation of savages that’s been ruled by psychopaths for centuries. Putin is just the most recent of many.
Projection.
IATG
Putin is a sociopath at a minimum. Many stories about him in small settings and on the world stage, indicate he has sadistic and maybe psychopathic elements.
Certainly he doesn’t care about loss of life and destruction. On his side or his adversaries.
In his mind, if he gets ultimate control over an area, even if it’s rubble and the population massacred, well he got it and that’s all that matters.
But it will be a long time for these societies to rebuild, and they will retain a hatred of Russia that most likely means they throw out Russia in the end.
Does he think he’ll live forever? Or that his greater Russia will? Or maybe he just wants to win even if it’s a hollow victory.
That’s where his thinking isn’t logical.
He could have a prosperous successful Russia but he’d prefer to control a rubble heap.
I believe the only thing he cares about is his own survival. So if he might be shot, blown up, tossed out a window or imprisoned - that he wants to avoid.
My guess is his “logic” tells him that a free and prosperous Russia will have no use for him.
So better to rule in hell than serve in Heaven.
He’s not the first.
Clearly Trump, Whitaker et al are publicly shaming Putin, I guess that’s the current strategy.
Trump has come down hard on Putin lately. What gives?
Trump needs to get rid of this guy before he gets us into WW III.
Putin is a wannabe Soviet. End story.
In his first term Trump had a habit of hiring the wrong people. Looks like he hasn’t learned anything since then.
Now imagine someone from Russia suggesting that about Trump.
How helpful would that be?
Like labeling the guy, even truthfully solves the problem...
Crazy guy with fellow crazy loonies with fingers on nukes...
So what to do?
Anyone cavorting around like that, DOES have a sick and twisted mind!
Oh, you say that's Volodymyr Zelenskyyyyyy dancing in drag?
Mucus is a neocon muezzin, and this is his one of his regular 5 daily calls to prayer.
They all get out their mats, and prostate themselves in the direction of Northern Virginia.
ZEEPER FOLLIES PINGLIST!(((PING!)))
The ambassador is psychoanalyzing Putin rather than explaining why we need to get involved in a war in which we have no compelling interest.
To put it mildly.
I must have missed that video.
I realize that "playground politics" might work domestically in the US, but I'm not sure it helps when dealing with Russia.
