Responsibility Deficit Disorder is a medical condition. Symptoms include inability to be corrected when wrong, false sense of superiority, desire to share personal info no else cares about, general hubris. It's a medical issue rather than pure arrogance.

For the avoidance of doubt and to assist the Prince of cynicism, so do I when it relates to how people there are thinking and acting. That’s not to say that a wider perspective cannot sometimes see things that those embroiled in the mess don’t. To see a wall it’s best not to stand too close to it.

Secondly, because he has lost many people and lots of equipment, his position becomes weaker. He has also lost markets and trust. Russia getting what it asked for 3 years ago would have been stronger and emboldened. They could be in Moldova by now, having taken all of Ukraine. Russia getting what it asked for now is weaker and likely to cause Putin some headaches., For the avoidance of doubt any comments in response to a previous post are directed to its ideas and not at any, or all, posters personally.

The level of delusion is off the charts. Hundreds of thousands of people die because we apparently want to delay Russia for a couple of years....even though we could have done that in the agreement Johnson vetoed....all this did was strengthen the global south and turn them into a stronger enemy which again, we apparently have to fight....after already spending 12 billion we won't get back and giving a good number of our best tanks away. So now we have to economically support Ukraine, who aren't even in nato, for a whole generation....because Putin bad. The most avoidable and stupid war in my lifetime. Now the usual suspects are bringing out all the lies about the reds coming over the hills unless we do A and suffer B.....fear mongering for lambs being led to mostly more economic decline. The fact that I have to also suffer economically long term for the decisions of morons whose idiocy I never supported boils my blood. A war that only has downsides.....I won't say that I think should happen to the people who carried on digging this hole, even when it was obvious it wasn't working.
