Instead of targeting strictly military installations, the Russian goon has ordered the bombing of civilian targets. Office buildings, apartments, residential neighborhoods. They all contain helpless, defenseless civilians \u2026 including children.<\/p>\n<p>The sociopath is committing crimes against humanity.<\/p>\n<p>For what purpose? To bring Ukraine back into the Russian fold. Putin seems to have decided that Ukraine is his for the taking. So, he\u2019s going to take it.<\/p>\n<p>This is a dangerous individual. This is the guy the immediate past president of the United States courted. He told us it would be better if we were \u201cfriends\u201d with Putin than to face him on the other side of a shooting war. Sure thing. However, Putin acted not out of defiance of this country, but out of greed and a lust to return Russia to its recent authoritarian heritage rooted in the Marxist ideology that gave us the Soviet Union.<\/p>\n<p>He seemingly cares nothing about the world\u2019s reaction to his cruelty. My dog-eared dictionary describes a \u201csociopath\u201d as someone who exhibits \u201caggressive anti-social behavior.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Does that fit Vladimir Putin? Looks that way to me.<\/p>\n<p>He\u2019s a danger to the entire world.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-right\" style=\"text-align: right;\"><a href=\"mailto:johnkanelis_92@hotmail.com\">johnkanelis_92@hotmail.com<\/a><\/p>\n\n<div class=\"twitter-share\"><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/intent\/tweet?via=jkanelis\" class=\"twitter-share-button\">Tweet<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As the world recoils in horror at the sights and sounds coming from Ukraine for the past few days, I am left only to conclude that we are witnessing the results of a dictator\u2019s sociopathic proclivity.
