Putin is not insane ; Biden is . : )
Putin’s insanity is not my opinion but my HS buddy, a Columbia PhD in Russian studies and a 35 year career with DIA, first as an agent, then as an operative, then after an attempt on his life an analyst again. His field of interest was USSR then Russia and the ‘Stans. He speaks fluent Russian and Kazhak. He was responsible for overseeing the disposal of nuke warheads in Kazahkstan. He discovered an effort by Russian officers to funnel nukes to Talis in return for huge amount of heroin. For his effort he was almost assasinated by poisoning. In the early 2000’s we were having beers in a NYC tavern. On the TV was JAG doing a story with Harm and Mack saving Putin from assassination byextremists. My friend laughed out loud and then told me. “ Putin a good guy? Let me tell you, Putin is evil and insane.” I have seen mothimg in Putin to persuade my friend was wrong.
