It is not that Putin the Putrid is an ignorant psychopath that worries me, it is that Putin the Putrid is a dangerous ignorant psychopath that worries me: [bbc.com]
Thank you for that. Absolutely, luck is the main reason we are still around today. We cannot expect that luck to hold. Good luck becomes more tenuous the more we expect things to go on as they have as long as we continue along the road of sticking to the idea this planet can support increasing human numbers, constant growth based economy and continuing to stick our heads in the sands when it comes to using the motto of 'if it's not broke don't fix it.'
He is dangerous, but I'm not sure I'd use 'ignorant' as a descriptor. He knows how to murder with pinpoint accuracy and intent. That is his talent. So, a malignant narcissistic psychopath with knowledge of how and ability to kill people makes him the most dangerous person on Earth.
I would say he is ignorant. I would go even further and say he is stupid. He lets his preconceived ideas run his actions and 'purposely' fails to try and understand situations and consequences. Funny, but all we've heard of this megalomaniac we have heard little of his growing up.
I think if he were that stupid, he would belong to the Trump family. He is cunning and manipulative, characteristics which make him so dangerous. Psychopaths like this have prefrontal cortexes which are smaller than normal, so they can't process empathy. Charles Manson, Jim Jones, John Wayne Gacy, but on a much larger scale. The fact that he was able to rise to the position he has illustrates to me that he's not stupid, but something is definitely missing. I don't care about his childhood. Most people don't turn out like that, despite their childhoods.
