Worries grow over Putin's stability, mindset

The White House and other observers are increasingly sounding the alarm about the mindset of Russian President Vladimir Putin, who seems poised to escalate his country’s war with Ukraine.

Experts, analysts, lawmakers and even administration officials have speculated that Putin’s isolation during the COVID-19 pandemic has raised his paranoia. They’ve pointed to decisions he’s made such as the invasion itself and his move on Sunday to put his nuclear forces on alert in suggesting he is not making rational decisions.

And they all said the same thing in 2014 during Crimea.

Biden at SOTU: “Putin may circle Kiev with tanks, but he’ll never gain the hearts and souls of the Iranian people.”.

What if Vlad has gone mad

He’d still be 100 time more sainer than Biden.

Maybe Nancy Pelosi can call Russian General Valery Gerasimov, and ask him to block Putin’s access to the nuclear codes.

>> Russian President Vladimir Putin, who seems poised to escalate his country’s war with Ukraine.<<

Biden is Putin’s enabler by buying his oil. Biden’s oil purchases from Putin makes Biden a war criminal by association.

I’m skeptical that a headshrinker is necessary to explain Putin’s actions. He’s just a run-of-the-mill Russian ruler. The way to make yourself a bigger deal in that august group is to acquire land. People come up with all these epithets about empire-builders, but this impulse has been around since the first village chief attacked his neighbor. WWII kiboshed it in the West and maybe Japan, but I’m not sure that countries outside of this circle wouldn’t take their nations on armed regional tours if not for Uncle Sam’s stabilizing influence.

Me thinks the names Biden and Putin are interchangeable here?

Put him and biden in a room and let them gum each other to death. Vlad will disappear soon. He will bring up the nukes again then some of his oligarchs will just off him.

Yes I saw that. Macron had a relationship with Putin. Tried to keep him “relatively” close to the West. But all of a sudden, Putin did something like this. Maybe he has a terminal disease and he wants to reestablish the USSR before he departs this world?

Khrushchev wanted to take out Stalin during WWII but couldn’t get the support.

My theory is had the Nazis taken Moscow, Stalin would have been replaced with Khrushchev via a coup.

Who said Putin has been isolated due to the pandemic. I have a hunch he has done whatever he wanted, gone wherever he wanted , with whom he ever wanted, and this is juvenile projection from a bunch of idiot child-
“journalist.”

Real psychology is hard. These amateurs should not try it at home.

“I hear he called the ‘Urainians’.”

Uranians are a combination of Iranians and the Uranus Uranians. It’s science.

Biden has improved a lot. Now he has a good excuse to act like a moron.

Maybe he found out that Macron is a lying backstabbing snake. Remember how “nice” he was to Trump? Then he went on to backstab him.

I read the latest comments at The Hill for this article for one minute.

Per usual, the Hill comments are a sewer full of Trump and Republican hating and of course tieing Trump to Vlad. And when I say sewer, I mean demented and miseducated liberals. They are more proof that “Liberalism is a mental illness”

The Hill is a dump. I read a recent paper edition Time magazine, and though liberal, it was reasonable and devoid of vituperation.
