The idea that Putin's lost it doesn't make me feel warm and fuzzy.

i was listening to an interview over lunch with the NYTimes Moscow correspondent, and he was saying that nobody really knows what the true motivation is, or what putin’s end-game is. the narrative is countering NATO, but even if he succeeds in Ukraine, NATO is still going to be there (and likely stronger with more resolve)
it’s all very odd (and scary)

decoder ring? tarot cards? prayers? crystal ball? magic 8 ball?
or does it really just boil down to world view and personal narrative?
(nah, that couldn’t be it)

The last one had a guy who wanted to nuke clouds and have people inject disinfectant to ride themselves of Covid.
