Putin is getting ready for war. I don't know what this man is thinking but it's clear that he does not have peace in mind. Moreso, it's obvious that defence is not an angle, offence is. War for territory serves no purpose. It's going to get a lot of Russians and Europeans killed.
He certainly isn't stupid but he has incredible power, he is a warmonger (he worked for the KGB before his presidency) and he knows very well that in the end, power is what truly governs all. At the end of the day, he has all the advantages of moving first: the countless economic ties with countries all over the world (which always put profit first and values, second) and the second strongest military force in the whole world.

Definitely seems like it. But is he that stupid?
Let's hope not.
