[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think it's paranoia about [i]being whacked[/i] that has driven Putin crazy. I don't remember where I read this, it was a while ago, but it was an article about how Putin lives in a cage of his own making. He couldn't step down without being assassinated, and he had (literally) poisoned so many people on his way to the top that now he is paranoid about being poisoned himself. So if you live isolated in fear of betrayal, constantly suspecting that your own countrymen are out to get you, and that isolation & paranoia continues for years, I think it would mess you up.[/quote] He's a little like a mob boss or a shark in that can't stop swimming or he'll die. He can't retire. He's stuck. He doesn't really want the job. But he can't let go of power and go quietly into the night. Maybe this is swan song. I really hope I'm wrong.
