the sad thing is, this was Putin's childhood. An illegitimate child of impoverished mother His father abandoned them both. Sent to live with adoptive family aged 9. He would have experienced social dislocation and isolation. In those days illegitimacy was a real wound. Putin's got a permanently wounded and aggrieved look on his face. Rather than waging war and avenging past grievances mostly imaginary He'd be better off going to see a good psychologist. The world would be better off too. Sadly like Adolf and Stalin the world lives with the results Of the wounded child living within the bully.
