my general conclusions about putin's annual conference: (i forced myself to listen to it for four and a half hours to comment on it. it was terrible.)  putin speaks and acts in an increasingly emotional and paranoid manner. he lives in his own world.  he called this war "some action." it is shocking and says a lot about him and his condition.  putin has not abandoned the idea of seizing ukraine. for him, war is the only way to stay in power and control society.  putin is raising the stakes and frightening the world with a group strike with oreshnik missiles. he is directly threatening to strike ukraine and kyiv, which he has never done before. he clearly enjoys making threats.  putin wants greatness and a new geopolitical division of the world to go down in history. putin is 72 years old. in fact, he is now the russian tsar. he does not care about the prospect of russia's development over the decades. he doesn't think in the long term because it doesn't look like he wants to leave behind the putin dynasty in power. the only thing he is focused on and wants is to go down in history as the "victor of the west" and the "gatherer of russian lands." and he realizes that his own time is quite limited. so he will be in a hurry. currently, he feels unpunished and confident. we know from history how quickly things can change. and we know from our own experience that it doesn't happen by itself. it takes hard work. so let's keep working, friends.   s/1869785701241499960
