LT42 Regarding Putin, I believe he is a psychopath, he ordered the indiscriminate bombing of civilian areas in Chechnya and Georgia so why would his tactics be different this time, unless of course this was also just ‘collateral of war’?
He is a dictator who was maintained power for over 20 years, quashing any dissent or threat to his position. He has ordered the killings of countless enemies, including in the UK using a variety of methods including radioactive material. I’m not sure how else to describe him.
