"Interesting article by Twitter follower Sam Ray here. So true! Putin, I always thought, was a loose cannon, even his early KGB superiors didn't trust him due to his impulsive behavior and risky approach to intelligence operations. #Putin #KGB" - Robert Morton (Former Intelligence Officer) - @Robert4787 Mar 21, 2023
The Hubris-Nemesis complex, I think is a useful construct to analyze these malignant a-holes, like Trump and Putin. (And I have no doubt, America could be every bit as toxic under Trump’s prolonged leadership)
Propaganda is a necessary tool for small and fearful minds. It takes wisdom, great courage, and a quick, savvy voice to reveal malignant Wizards of Oz and their minions for what they are not. And, paradoxically, do not rely on leaders to define your worth.
