yes , that's what happens when you kill all your political opponents , remove all independant media and gaol those with a different opinion to yourself .......you get extreme views and behaviour ......FASCISM ......and get right out of touch with reality also ......and ultimately that ensures your failure .
putin has already sown the seeds of his own destruction ........by causing Finland and Sweden to join NATO and for NATO to reinvigorate he has already had huge strategic losses to go with his economic , dimplomatic and military losses . And still without acheiving even one of his stated objectives in Ukraine . Allies of russia are now Iran and North Korea ....other pariah states .
