4. After the Ukraine fiasco...

... I would think he'd take a long step back and reconsider such an ill-advised adventure. But his ego is a black hole, and his arrogance is limitless. He seriously underestimated Ukraine; underestimating Europe's strength and resolve would be a fatal mistake.
He micro-manages his military, and doesn't listen to field commanders, and they're all scared shitless of him. He has also exhausted his supply of cannon fodder, and he's buying materiel and ammunition from North Korea, so invading Europe has got to be a long-term goal, not an immediate one. He lies constantly to the people of Russia, but they're onto him, so a volcanic grass roots revolt is a real possibility. We can only hope someone tosses him out a window.
