Weird thought this morning about Putin.

[Gaugamela]

1. The problem with your logic is that he openly cleanses his enemies with poison or

defenestration. And most of the recruits in his war are just random Russians, many of whom probably supported him before he sent them off to die. And he’s paid a huge price for this cleansing by losing much of his oil and gas revenue. And now the western alliance wants to hang him for war crimes. If he stuck to poison and windows the rest of the world would look away and continue to do business.
