Toxic Putin is going for bust. The west must stop him before this contagion spreads

73. True. He wants to go further,

but for the reasons you stated, is not in a good position to do so.

But, he is power crazy enough to resort to nukes, unfortunately, which means his country would be annihilated by the West, with nothing to rule over if he survived. But the world wide damage would also be horrific. A lose-lose event. But Putin and Russia would lose the most since there likely would be pockets of survivors somewhere in the world, though not in Russia and not many anywhere in the West.

In some ways, he reminds me of the abusive husband whose wife leaves him so he says, "If I can't have her, no one else can either." Then he kills the her. Even if he knows that it means that he will die, too, in the process, he considers it a win because he will get his way in preventing her from having a life without him.

Putin's mentality appears to be the same. The best possibility is that someone or something kills him first.
