for us it's simple, but putin is not the sharpest tool in the shed. we have to repeat it frequent and slowly for him

It's not that he's stupid. It's that he is banking his at-home credibility and authority on his success as an imperialist. So to him, to simply leave is not an option. It is the same as losing.

I think getting into this situation is stupid. Attacking a friendly neighbour is also stupid. Having to oppress opposition also indicates he's too stupid to face criticism and convince his people. I think a six grader could rule russia better.
