Mr. Putin launched his war in Ukraine on the claim of "Unity", that Russians and Ukrainians are one people, sharing one common history, one language and one destiny, plus of course his long lasting security concerns from a presumed "NATO threat on his borders", plus maybe a way leading to his personal gratification and glorification. As well as an important step to achieve his grand ambition of reasserting Russia, under his absolute command, as a great world power.
Instead, what he has done is the exact opposite in practically all and every domain. He shattered all possibilities of unity with Ukraine and replaced it with an unmeasurable hatred and loathing from all Ukrainians toward their once closer Russian allies. His concerns for a pseudo security on his borders is diminished by the doubling of NATO and other equipment and forces in all other bordering countries, plus a fear and hatred of all their people and governments combined.
Remains his personal glorification and the Russian great empire he thought of accomplishing, where I believe that his country's economic collapse and the halting of being a world energy power will totally collapse his dreams, it's only a matter of time before the Russian populace will raise their voices and discontent, while debasing Russia's most important source of economic power, Imagine if on top of all that, an internal elite struggle erupts to debase him, whether successful or resisted, that will kill all his dreams and aspirations of a historical figure of grandiose proportions. What a simple miscalculated step could lead to in life !!! Amazing.
On a more personal note, I keep wondering, how can the world in general and more so the Russian people, plus many leaders and the many individuals who keep expressing their love and admiration and respect to Mr. Putin, a guy who started his effective life and career with the communist party, then got chosen and promoted to become an active KGB operator and disciple, trained and brainwashed continually for years while advancing in ranks, which was either some elaborate falsification and a big continuous lie on his part, pretending all the way, or being a genuine convinced novice and accomplished member of the system.
Eventually, later in life, and with the KGB's full backing, his bright manipulations, elevated him to the highest post of the Russian oligarchy, he turned around a full 180 degrees, and became the exact opposite of all his training and his supposed political philosophy, ideologies and principals, he is now a devote Orthodox Christian with the full backing of the Russian church, one of the richest men on the planet, presiding a ruling oligarchy of very, very rich loyal ruling friends, having alliances with some of the most corrupt political and economical leaders of the world. We have one ,still fighting to come back here in our own backyard.
The entire world is busy trying to categorize and find the oligarchy's real wealth, including his, their acquired properties, estates and palaces, and seizing their crazily luxurious and very expensive yachts and fleets of private airplanes and motor vehicles. These numerous people were technically all communists, pure and simple, with modest salaries, working hard to elevate the working classes of Russia and the world and defend it from extreme and savage Western wealth and power.
These few people , playing politics and power games like no one of even the slightest socialistic inclinations could even dream of doing. Such total metamorphosis and change of mind set and interests, is enough by itself to deter or warn any sane person to avoid and condemn such dangerous characters and personalities. Still he's allowed to govern, enrich himself, send his armies and generals to invade destroy and massacre entire towns and districts with their civilian populations, while creating a very dangerous situation for the entire world, his neighbors, and his people. He's endangering and recklessly playing with life on earth as we know it, all for his own glorification.
My usual thanks to all, stay safe and well.
