Is Putin really crazy, like #45 crazy, or is it mental deterioration?

We really shouldn't assume all assholes are mentally ill. It's hard to believe, but there really are people who don't care about anyone other than themselves and their interests, and will do whatever to safeguard them.

Narcissism is a mental illness…

<Shrug> I don't care whether he is mentally ill or not. He needs to be gone.

Well since the Zaporizhzhia nuclear reactor is now on fire he may just have sealed his fate along with everyone else's.

Think. You can't hide from radiation.

If you live in the surrounding area, sure. But I don't see how that will affect us here.

Strain on resources, need for major emergency immigration, Europe will be in crisis. This is the largest nuclear plant in Europe. This is bad for everyone one way or another if it melts down.

Despite the evidence that Putin is crazier now than he was 2 years ago?

DP. Putin is not crazy, he is RUTHLESS. He is not afraid of a NATO expansion, he wants Ukraine's territory and vast natural resources. He will step up the brutality in Ukraine, this week is just the prelude.

They can’t take Ukraine. Being a ruthless asshole doesn’t overcome the military and strategic dysfunctions.

If they can't take Ukraine I could see them just nuking it.

I thought the wind blew towards Russia. 🤔

The attack on the nuclear power plant should have been the point where all of the sane, rational Russian military command should have said to themselves, "This is stupid. We're ruining the thing we wanted to capture. We're destroying ourselves. This ends here."

I swear that's it. There IS something genuinely wrong in P's brain. Someone on the inside has to neutralize him before they all die.

Yep! Ukraine is upwind from Russia. Radiation from Ukraine will be traveling to Russia.

Maybe they are doing this to incite NATO and rationalize further war, use nuclear weapons, kill power to much of Ukraine for an easier invasion. There are a lot of reasons to do this even if it's absolutely reckless.

Maybe it's deliberate but how in the world is that sane strategy??? Radiation at that magnitude will drift over the entire earth. And Russia is its first stop? Putin may be in a bunker right now but how long can that last?

Putin said he would do crazy things. Things the world had not seen before.

Calm down. According to this article, there was fighting in a training area. Not a direct hit on a nuclear reactor. Please stop exaggerating. There are no elevated radiation levels:

Not crazy, just mad. Mad men have caused wars since the dawn of civilization, and before.
As in mad at NATO, mad about not having the Russian Empire from the years long gone.

I must have missed #45 invading Canada and bombing Ontario to rubble. Putins actions are far beyond mean tweets, insisting on highlighting the geographic origin of the pandemic and ordering fast food for White House guests.

There remain (some) checks and balances on the executive branch here in the US.
