Putin is A Sadist Psychopathic With No Empathy But He Likes Being Alive, Therefore No Nukes

 

This is the opinion of Eena Gold published in Quora. I happen to think is a very educated opinion and it makes a lot of sense. What do you think?

Is Putin mad, or is he planning on using his nukes?

Putin can’t use nukes anymore. Or he’s dead. Physically. Probably, before the nukes are even fired.

His close circle is leaking. The source may not be able to remove Putin physically but can report that nukes are ordered. Then the preemptive strike comes immediately.

The USA and UK only need 3 unconnected sources to report it (one of them could be satellite intel), to give the order to liquidate Putin and the rest of the Kremlin elders in power.

It’s no longer a red line, and it’s been made very clear to Putin, Patrushev, and Co.

The West knows where Putin is at any given time, and has the weaponry that destroys any bunker and everyone in it. Any locked bunker can be actually a death trap.

Putin knows that his ‘Kinzhals’ and ‘Iskanders’ aren’t “invincible” as his engineers claimed – they are easily intercepted by 40-year-old American ‘Patriots’. His trump card got beaten, 10 out of 10.

If even old American air defense systems are so effective against the newest Russian Wunderwaffe, what chance do Russian nukes have to arrive at the intended destination?

Putin also knows that even with all the war crimes he has committed, the worst-case scenario for him is a court case in Hague. He’s not going to be tortured or liquidated on the spot – unless he orders nukes. So, he won’t. He’s a psychopathic sadist with no shame or empathy, but he really loves being alive. He loves his lifestyle.

He may even get out of this war by feigning sickness or “losing” 2024 election in Russia to another ruler who will have to deal with the aftermath of the failed invasion, while Putin and Co. are still pulling the strings behind the scenes.

This is one of the scenarios that’s now being prepared for, I believe, with the sudden rise of Yevgeny Prigozhin and his open political activity (Prigozhin is touring Russia and giving talks in large cities, being critical of the results of the war), consolidating both Z-patriots and the anti-war sentiment, and redirecting their energy into the capitulation stall.

Yesterday, Putin’s mouthpiece Peskov said that "Putin was, is and will be open to any contacts in order to achieve the goals of the Russian Federation and by other means than the special military operation."

In translation from Putini this means: “We realize that the war has failed to achieve the goals that were set, can you please talk to us and give us a way out.”

Putin may be delirious, but he’s not omnipotent. There is a group that rules Russia, and this group wants to stay in power.

It will do anything to achieve this goal.
