Factoid query: If Putin’s riddled with cancer (and crazy, according to certain FR trolls), what does he have to lose erasing ukraine from the Earth to stick it in the West’s eye and why should he care about the ICC?
Your description makes him sound like a dictator, he can do whatever he feels like doing because he is ill or unstable, or for whatever reason he personally wants to indulge.
Good description, but he probably isn’t as powerful as he was 15 months ago.
