Everyone needs to learn and know how to identify a psychopath. They make up 30% of the general population in the US. Even more exist in power positions in politics and business.
Unfortunately, he's not a lone wolf.
Folks keep wondering why we have 30% of the population that's so deranged and as undemocratic as recalcitrant...
I'd like to offer a suggestion:
Stats on Psychopaths
Psychopathy is a very common
mental disorder. It is twice as
common as schizophrenia,
anorexia, and bipolar disorder.
It is equally common as bulimia,
panic disorder, and autism.
The only mental disorders
significantly more common than
psychopathy are substance abuse
or dependence, depression, and
post-traumatic stress disorder.
Psychopathy affects all
ethnic, cultural, racial,
and socioeconomic groups.
...psychopathy
is a spectrum disorder,
Prevalence in the United States
Approximately 70% of the
population is estimated to
have no psychopathic traits
whatsoever.
Key Point

The remaining
30% have low, medium, or
high levels of psychopathy.

*psychopath indicates that the disorder has a genetic basis, sociopath, that the basis is societal. I'm unequivocal in my stance because of his familial history and because of the expanded knowledge of the genetics of mental health disorders that supports the notion. He has benefited (his pathology is exacerbated and sustained) from and by the support for his psychopathic personality by the many other psychopaths that exist among us in the US population.

He is wrong, of course. The ONLY time NATO invoked Article 5 was immediately following 911.
