If I were Putin.

I’m merely trying to imagine living in other people’s skins.  That’s a good way to glean clues to what they are all about.  Allows me to psychoanalyze the likes of Vladimer Putin. In a fair way. He ain’t as bad as other people make out. That’s probably the way the creator/god operates. Peering into everyone's soul. I suspect that Putin thinks he’s doing the right things. He finds himself in a position of power. And he doesn’t let it scare him. He proceeds. Takes risks. I’m sure he’s infatuated with his power. His ability to control world events. To have an extraordinary effect on the political course of the world. Wow! Wonder what I’d do if I were Putin. --Jim Broede
