Förbannade galning.
Är han planterad där för att skapa möjligaste mycket skada - för Ryssland? Ser så ut.
Visst, inget nytt i det här. Och ändå bli man ju frustrerad. Hur kan nån vara så korkad?
Om det är en del av Putins plan att framstå som en sansad statsman... It ain't working. Åtminstone inte utanför Ry. Snarare en psykopat som inbillar sig att han är smart och tror sig spela 3 dimensionell shack...
Samtligt som hela världen kan se att en gummistövel har en högre IQ.
Matematisk intelligens har han säkert tillräckligt av, men visdom är han nog fullständigt renons i.
Hurudan världsbil han än har kan det ju inte vara annat än en katastrof, den knipa han försatt sig i. Och att ha statskanalerna tuta ut mera dumheter dag o natt bara förvärrar det hela, skulle jag tycka.
You should stop digging when you hit shit, var det nån som sa åt mig en gång. Tycker det låter som ett bra råd åt P.
@janvhei @kallekn If you read Orwell's 1984, they had daily "five minutes of hatred" there. This is what we have on TV except all major channels have one or two hours of this.
It is not stupid. It conditions people and makes Putin himself look less radical.
It does work. Not for everyone of course but imagine average people getting daily dose of such propaganda for years now.
Yes, I understand the situation is as you (and Kalle) describe it. It is horrible and it works.
My point was that only an idiot (an idiot as in an emotional expression of lack of wisdom, rather than an estimate if his capabilities) will put himself in a position which is diametrically opposite of the position where he would like to be.
@janvhei @kallekn He is old and this is the way he operates.
Again it is not really stupid, it worked for him for years. If he decided to quit ten years ago he probably would went into history as rather successful (even though oppressive) politician.
His (and whoever is behind him) problem was that he wouldn't and instead of recognizing failure he decided to go for whatever it took to stay in power and eliminate competition.
This is the result. Something like this was inevitable. To be honest I even suspect he received a little push.
@janvhei @kallekn I have no idea but I don't think it is just him.
He popped out of somewhere when Eltsin retired and it clearly was like he was put in this position, not grabbed it himself. I suppose some sort of KGB/FSB community?
It is not like I am talking about some kind of deep state but it is not like he is a single madman who usurped all power and no one can do anything about it.
FSB and some other enforcement structures surely gained a lot under his rule. Way too much to justify just keeping the order. So I suppose those are his real supporters.
