What is it that is stupid about this?

It is true. Putin's enemies and opponents are murdered, jailed, pushed out of windows, poisoned, ruined, threatened by Putin-adjacent gangsters more or less constantly on domestic soil, are they not? And yet he enjoys a strong profile among Russian citizens.

So you have to ask -- why would a man who has got away with this domestically, not think he can get away with it internationally, when he has his Farages and Trumps and Gabbards and Salvinis raising his profile everywhere?

Or are you saying that it's hysterical and stupid to call the man what he is? He's a psychopath. It's in absolutely everything he does.

(Psychopaths, FWIW, are not particularly unusual: maybe 3% of the human population is a psychopath)
