Yes. Putin's a megalomaniac and sociopath, but he isn't stupid. He knows he can't win a nuclear war so he's not going to start one. He will just keep trying to chip away at surrounding countries taking what he thinks he can get away with until someone either deposes him, kills him or forces him to back down militarily. I hate to use a Hitler analogy, but Putin is behaving like Hitler did before Munich and Chamberlain gave him the go ahead for his aggressions.
I'm sorry but you said Putin is a sociopath, he is not, sociopaths are low functioning, easily agitated, and utterly lacking in motivation, sociopaths don't plan ahead, they live entirely within the moment, and generally are in various states of disorganization. Does that sound like Putin to you?
No, Putin is not the party here that frightens me, Biden is, Biden is a textbook "psychopath," psychopaths are the kissing cousins of sociopaths, but are not nearly the same. Psychopaths such as Biden, are much higher functioning than sociopaths, they harbor ambitions, make detailed plans, and then execute those plans over the course of years.
Psychopaths are born, sociopaths are produced via lack of nurture and other environmental circumstance, they rarely plan ahead, and never, ever assume positions of power, sociopaths rarely can manage to hold down a steady job. Psychopaths are drawn toward professions, and positions of power.
Washington DC is full of them, attorneys, surgeons, politicians, corporate CEO's, ect ect, these are the playgrounds of the psychopathic. Psychopaths will kill you absent a jot or twinge of conscience, however they rarely do so on impulse, they make plans, and then execute the plans at most advantageous time, psychopaths are intelligent, sociopaths not so much!
The person you need worry about, is Biden, he is a textbook psychopath, and as he ages his ability to mask that has greatly degraded, we do not know enough about Putin to label him psychopathic, Biden on the other hand is a very known quantity, he cannot manage a single sentence, not ******* one, absent a lie!
