[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There have been reports from Macron and others who have known Putin for years that he is acting unusually.  He seems more delusional and more paranoid and less in touch with reality than he was 2 years ago.  (The video that you posted in from 2015, so not indicative of his present state of mind.)

Those that have interacted with him recently think he's a nutter.  [/quote]

Macron is an idiot boy who thinks he's king maker. He's so far out of his league and isn't even aware of it. Anyone who has followed Putin knows he is the same ruthless autocrat as ever.  He's been methodically marching toward this for years. First Chechnya, then Crimea, Syria, Ukraine. So far no one has stopped him, in fact thought they could "work with him."  And he's proving his theory right now that US & NATO are too weak/scared to intervene. He may not "take Ukraine" but he will flatten it and Germany will buy continue to buy Russian gas and US companies will continue to do business there.[/quote]

Selling gas to germany is dead for Russia.  At least for a decade if not until gas is not needed anymore as long as Putin is there and as long as there is an alternative.

But where your analysis goes wrong is the idea that the US and NATO are too weak/scared to intervene.  In a war even before we learned how much of a paper tiger Russia is there was no comparing NATO and Russian forces.  Russia would be wiped out.  We are not going to intervene because we are drawing a line at NATO countries.  If we intervene it is a major war.  No sane person would intervene now.  NATO countries are different.  Could we intervene -- sure.  Not a lot Russia could do except fire nukes.  [/quote]
