< Putin the poisoner being a sociopath> It is so easy and common to demonize the Other. Putin is using military threats, economic power, and diplomacy, trying to increase his power. Exactly what U.S. Presidents have been doing for about 200 years. Yes, Putin poisons his political enemies. The US tried to poison Fidel Castro. Obama killed many of his enemies, by having drones drop bombs on them, all over the world. Trump put children in cages. Do you want to split some hairs, and find a moral difference between drones and poison? If Putin is an insane sociopath, then, by the same standards, so are a list of US Presidents. Actually, they are all just normal leaders, doing what national leaders always do.
