A former CIA official said predicting Russian President Vladimir Putin’s next move is difficult because he is an “egomaniac” who is preoccupied with his own impulses.
Dr. Barry McManus served in the Central Intelligence Agency for 26 years as the chief forensic psycho-physiologist. He believes Putin is becoming increasingly isolated and paranoid.
“I think his personal (sense) of grandeur that he sees in himself, makes him unpredictable,” McManus said.

Those worried about nuclear war - chill out. Little Pukin won't use nuclear weapons because if he does he will die and all Russians with him.
Also, indications that Russia is mobilizing more forces for the Ukraine War. Equipment from Russia's far east moving westward. Clearly means, current invasion has failed.
Kill the Russian Invaders!

Putin needs to die of Polonium poisoning, a slow painful death, the way he had Litvinenko killed.

Putin is an evil bastard, but I don’t think he’s crazy (though he’s done some batshit crazy things).

PSSST. I have it from a secret mole inside Putin's bunker in the Urals that Putin is an insane madman so you can pay him no mind when he threatens nuclear war.
Wait - that makes no sense.

It’s the CIA, they haven’t got anything right since the Korean War. The biggest mistake ever made by the US government in its entire history is this agency and the IRS.

I’m sorry, but as soon as I see “CIA” I just shut down. Their agenda corrupts, in my mind, everything they say. They have sold out.

Kill the Russian Invaders! What an immature rant.
It took more than a month for the United States Army to reach Baghdad and to topple Saddam Hussein.
Furthermore the American military that did that does not exist today thanks to the leftists in government.

Thank goodness someone with brains is evaluating Putin. Demonrats are too busy projecting Biden onto Putin.

Khrushchev acted crazy too, but he had been in charge of the defense of Stalingrad. He knew what war could do with 30’s vintage weapons. I think he wanted nothing to do with a nuclear war.
