Is Putin exhibiting "'roid rage"?

[mainer]

If rumors are true and he’s taking steroids, then he’s suffering megalomaniacal side effects and is not to be reasoned with. He’s crazy. This is how nuclear wars start. Sane Russians need to prevent him from pressing the nuclear button.

1. Very poorly written and probably not true.

3. Putin's a narcissist. That's in his DNA, not something that just occurred by illness or meds.

Helps to look at Putin's actions thru this lens.

4. In his case, as in TFG's, I would say that size matters

but for different reasons.

5. There's a rumor out that he's sick and doesn't have much time left so he's moving...

now to bring Ukraine back into Russian control where he thinks it belongs, no matter what the Ukrainians think.

He's such a throwback to the Brezhnev, Kruschchevs and Stalins of the old Soviet Union, but even Brezhnev reached detente with the west. Putin has broken it.
