Putin gets really unhinged and apoplectic about what he says people think about Russians, which I’m pretty sure is not what people think about Russians. Any sane person would want to think well of the leader of a country as powerful as Russia, but this guy has some sort of poisonous inferiority complex thing going on that he seems to be inflicting on his countrymen. I don’t envy anybody as close to all of that as anyone with a name like “Berlin Freeper” probably is. For sure having his intelligence insulted publicly will make him flip. He’s been playing the part so long as cheerleader for downtrodden people when he himself is doing the downtrodding.

Look at the pattern that unfolded in Germany circa 1933.
Rinse, wash, repeat.
Same ol’ collective human nature... from all sides.
