Anybody bending is a loser in Putin's mind and a free pass to more evil. Soft power has no effect.

Therefore, contain Russia or, when trying to strike a deal, act from a position of more power than Russia has.

Has Putin got any positive sides. No, not really. The economy grew because of oil and will sink because of Putin.

Is Putin a great strategist? No, but he is a master of playing a weak hand aggressively and to his advantage.

Putin is short and was probably small for his age as a boy. A tough childhood taught him to always strike first and hard.

Striking first and very hard, taking advantage of others weakness, having few and very low level beliefs. That's Putin.

There's also the psychological dimension: Putin & Trump are both malignant narcissists, operating behind fake personalities.
