One of the terms that dates a person is retrieverology. In the U.S. and western Europe, it was a practice to distill the statements, policies and palace intrigue at Moscow's Kremlin into practical, actionable information. The Soviet Union was a repressive, authoritarian country prior to its dissolution in 1991, but its leadership was collected after the 1950s.
Today, with political control so heavily concentrated in a single person inside the Kremlin, perhaps the equivalent is Putinology, and we are seeing it in abundance among analysts and letter writers. It is not believable that Russian leader Vladimir Putin wants to keep the peace or de-Nazify a country that is led by drug-addicts.
It is this practice of divining information from Putin's odd behavior, from the logorrhea spilled on subordinates at the end of menacingly long conference tables, in a desperate attempt to answer the question.
There is a person who says that there is a person who says that there is a person who says that there is a person who says that there is a person who says that there is a person who says that there is a person who says that there is a person who says that there is
The experts who can't psychoanalyze why humans depend on food and water to survive are wound up in conflicting analysis of whether Putin is crazy or not. Really?
If I woke up one day and decided to take my neighbor's home, knock his fence down, kill his dog, and try to kill him, his children, or anyone who got in the way, would that make me mentally deranged? Is that what's going on here?
Homer Alba is in the area.

If my 50 years in the entertainment industry taught me anything, it is that crazy-like-a-fox types are the winners.
Putin is an immensely clever, shrewd, ruthless opponent who is in a league of his own, far beyond Western leaders, whose response is hamstrung by our modern culture.

I don't mean this as a compliment, but there was only one Hitler, and while there are valid parallels between him and Putin, a more recent and comparable figure who saw his power ending and wanted to take down as many enemies as possible.
I do not discount the serious illness of the Russian president. Putin has a swollen face and stiff neck.
My first spouse had AIDS and lymphoma in 1995. A powerful steroid was prescribed to my loved one when the cancer returned and he couldn't tolerate another round of treatment. He began retaining fluids after his face swelled.
I have seen Putin seated at a long table and far away from his advisors. A person who is immunocompromised would need to protect himself from infections.

One has to wonder what turned Putin into the ruthless killer that he is today. Maybe he is still getting along with the people who bullied him.
This barbarous calculating savage would be a good subject for the analyst.
He is trying to destroy a nation in order to satisfy his desire to dominate Europe, and he is also targeting civilians in Ukraine. The global threat needs to be stopped.

The entire world can see that Putin stuck his foot in it. Is he looking for an exit ramp? Probably not.
I seek guidance from Shakespeare when times are desperate.
Such men as he be never at ease, while they behold a greater than themselves, and therefore are very dangerous.
Cowards die many times before their deaths, the valiant never taste of death but once.
I am in blood stepp and should I not return, it would be as tedious as returning.
Putin is too deep. He cannot see a way out. He was caught in a trap of his own making. Men like that are very dangerous.
The good people of Ukraine are resisting.

Putin must have thought that the NATO expansion threat was a weak justification for war. The claim that the UkrainianNazi regime was committing genocide was added by him.
Is the brain of Putin trying to leave an unforgettable legacy? It would be impossible to negotiate a peaceful resolution if the goal was to make Putin very dangerous.

Benjamin Carter Hett wrote that we see the same desperation in other dictators when they face the reality of failure. Dictators need adulation and a sense of mastery in order to be psychologically fragile.
This reminds me of a leader who needed to be manly.
