'A fragile monster': Author describes Putin's character
Journalist and author of "Killer in the Kremlin" John Sweeney argues that while Russian president Vladimir Putin is "pathologically enthralled to violence," his strategy in Ukraine is failing. #CNN #News

They really needed to have someone with more credentials to interview John Sweeney; she kept interrupting him during important points he was trying to make with (what seemed like) pre-planned questions that had nothing to do with what he was talking about. John Sweeney has gone head to head with Putin before, she needs to chill out and listen to his expertise instead of interrupting. So tired of this untrained school of reporting.

Wow this author is right on the money. Putin is not only a fragile monster but is a serial killer who enjoy seeing human being turned or blasted to pieces. But with this book every cat and dogs will know who Putin really is? A blood thirsty monster whose outrages blood thirst crime passion of mass slaughter and murder will soon consume him. He is such a rich monster yet Money cannot satisfied him only blood letting will make him salivating for more. Only trouble is his killing machine " the Russian Army" will be killed off as quickly as they come on. Will Xi be like Putin, I have heard of the Birds of a feather... perhaps John Sweeney should study Xi can give us your thoughts. It looks like your book will sell well and already many things you have said have come true. OmG, Excellent work.

It seems blindingly obvious to me that the way you deal with a bully is to not back down or demonstrate any fear. The people who understand Russia best, the Balts, Poles, as well as Ukrainians, seem to grasp this instinctively, and are far less afraid than we seem to be, despite being at objectively greater risk. The sooner we get Ukraine the weapons they need to win this decisively, the better it will be for everyone. And no, I don't believe that people who love their wealth and luxurious lives as much as the Russian leadership are prepared to turn the world into a nuclear wasteland because they're not allowed to take something that they've lived without for 30+ years.

If you were dealing with a bully in real life, if you were told to not back down or demonstrate fear it would be ridiculously bad advice actually. I have dealt with countless bullying complaints as a manager, and it is not ever straightforward, it always needs investigation, never blanket assumptions based on incomplete information. I don't think that John is qualified to be giving this analysis. Also, factually, Russia says that it is defending ethnic russians in Ukraine who were bullied for eight years, and I think this is the key issue to be discussed, how to help civilians in Ukraine whether ethnically Ukrainian or Russian, not try to be an armchair psychiatrist about world leaders.

If you are russian and live in russia, you and your people will solve your problems by your own, if you have it. But don't ever think that these people are your friends. With these words you spit on your ancestors, and they gave their lives for your existance. Trust me, one day you will understand what I'm talking about. I'm not a Russian, just saying from personal experience. Once upon a time I was like you. It took me 30 years to understand some things which happened to me and my country, and now I completelly understand what is happening today with Russia. If you are political oponent of Putin it's ok, just try to have a wider picture. Putin is just one episode in Russian history (and God knows why he is here right now), but Russia and Russian nation are great and eternal. Keep them, they are worth that. Your nation gave us so much, despite all the troubles throughout the history, go to a library, take some history books, and learn how to be proud of your legacy. Putin is not your biggest problem, believe me. It will be better, don't worry. Sooner than you think.

Putin's latest term and his isolation had become his own echo chamber of paranoia. Each day he has to check to make sure his power is as strong as the day before, abs each day think of ways to act preemptively. Russia is an orc wrestling a crocodile which is Ukraine. Putin is scared to death of the Russian public having freedom of information and seeing his pretense for invasion was faked and stage ahead of time, scared to death of the people in the cities who manage to avoid conscription actuality getting pissed off (so Putin has to relegate himself to the country bumpkins many who still don't even have indoor toilet plumbing), not omnipotent as he wants to make people believe, and a violent self-promoting lame duck in office illegally in violation of the Russian constitution.

@@rossevans1774 I suggest you start doing research.. if it was the USA, they would've came in with 1 harsh swoop and wiped them out. Kinda like they did in Iraq twice, the first was over oil, the second was over oil but they sold us the lie that it was about weapons if mass destruction, which they found zero. Slight if hand also with 911. The American people wanted USA out of Iraq. Gave bin Laden a 6 month head start and went in full throttle on Iraq. The Americans were so pissed at 911, they didn't care about Iraq.. diversion tactic.. it's done over and over in history. And 911 was proven to be and inside job. Like it or not, the USA has killed more innocent civilians in recent times than any country combined for political gain. Just like Maralago and all the other BS they tried in trump, which none of it stuck. They waited until now with Jan 6th a few months ago and now the raid.

We can almost predict what his next move (MO) will be every time in politics. Let the Ukrainians fight this war just help them do it with superior weapons & sanctions. Putler actually does what he accuses others of doing. He's getting weaker & Ukraine is ready to put an end to this war forever.

One extremely narcissistic and destructive man I knew described the sensation of having "A black pit of fear" at his center. He said he'd had it all his life. He could act like a sociable person when he needed other people to praise him and he was a practiced "show man" in the entertainment field. But anyone who trusted him and got entangled on a deeply personal level would be destroyed after a few years. The viciousness of his sudden, unprovoked turns against those close to him cost many people everything they had worked hard for in collaboration with him. It was as if he was compelled to eviscerate people who loved him BEFORE they caught on to who he really was. Preemptive strikes. That's why I think Putin will launch nukes. He reminds me so much of that man. ( I am grateful, every day, that he died at age 57 and couldn't do more damage. He split my family apart and made my 2 kids hate me. Yes, I was dumb enough to marry him and breed. Ugh. Regret that now, of course. So, I try to educate others.)

I don’t think this lady has ever known or spoken to an engineer. Any engineer assigned the task absolutely would’ve designed that facility to withstand sustained shelling/bombing. It’s not only critical infrastructure, but the fact that it also houses extremely radioactive materials means that they went even further than they would have if it had been another type of power plant. As someone who has spent their entire life around engineers, I can assure you that they don’t believe something can be “over engineered.” Engineers just call that engineering. Now you might get them to admit that their design “exceeded the specs” which they would defend as being absolutely necessary, unless it exceeds the projected budget for the project. It is only at that point that they might be willing to admit that there is some additional margin for cost reduction, but they’re still going to fight any proposed changes every step of the way. So, in the case of this nuclear facility the question isn’t whether or not they designed that facility to withstand prolonged bombing/shelling. The actual question is what size ordinance did they account for and for how long?

I grew up next to a nuclear power plant and agreed they are built very strong these days, and since the growth of INPO policy has changed a lot, but bombing around a nuclear facility's radiation storage is idiotic and a deliberate effort to trigger people.
