There is a theory that he drove himself mad during COVID isolation. He was terrified of COVID, took to hiding himself away for days on end and only met with a very limited group of close advisors - all of them are sycophantic loyalists.
He apparently took to reading history books and convinced himself heās now a scholar of history. He published a thesis last year about Ukraine not existing based on his own research.
Iāve heard a couple of people who study Putin closely say that his recent public behaviour looks out of character for him. Heās usually very cold, calm and calculated but lately he has been aggressive and hot-headed. The invasion of Ukraine makes no logical sense.
Having seen the heroic defense being put up at the cost of their own lives at times Iād hazard a guess that most fighter pilots around the western world would love nothing better than to take a squadron up and clear the skies over Ukraine quick fucking sharp and bomb the fuck out of the invaders.
This āwarā is Russia v Ukraine yet Belarus are sending in troops to fight alongside Russians.Surely Ukraine can "pick a country "to help them out?For want of a better way of putting it.
Russia going into Ukraine was irrational and baffling. The UK going in on their own with 1000 soldiers would be even more so.
The troops will be going to Poland, Germany or maybe Estonia - as Britain already has soldiers there and they will be receiving most of the refugees out if the area.
Iām signing off for the night, this unfolding nightmare is making me drink more than usual. Not that Iāll sleep much, I canāt get the images of the confused faces of Ukrainian children out of my head. Goodnight all, letās pray for a miracle.
