this man, Putin is a madman, you cannot analyze him using sort of normal human logic, using normal human rationale.
Since Putin took power in 2000, one Western administration after another declined to confront him on human rights.
The regime is no longer satisfied with mere political control and seeks to subject society to fear and submission.
