Putin is NOT insane.

“Putin is NOT insane.”

His perception of reality is a bit different than most. Understandable? Absolutely.

Paranoid? Yes! Rightfully so.

Putin is NOT insane.

Technically, you may be correct.

But, power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely. A person with absolute power will not listen to reason, thereby making his decisions 'insane'. Ever hear of people acting in anger or temporary insanity? Putin will have his way, and consequences may not matter to him. Someone like that might as well be considered insane.
