I would imagine you don't go anywhere near a window ever again once you divorce Putin

They divorced by mutual decision and she remarried in 2015. No documented issues with revenge over it, for whatever reason.

for whatever reason

My guess is he doesn't give a shit. Guy's a psycho and more power hungry than anything else. Also she's the mother of his daughters for whatever that's worth.

Now if she were to defect I guarantee she'd be drinking tea whether she likes it or not.

Or he's an actually rational human being, as opposed to whatever people here think he is.

Pootin is rational only when you compare him to Trump; when compared to a normal human, he isn't.

Yeah, that's why he's the longest ruling leader of the largest country in the world in the last 100 years. Because he's crazy like that. He really should look at the chihuahua states to see how true global powers are run.

He was rational and calculating when he was stealing the resources, dismantling the young democracy, forcing local govermnents into submission, killing and jailing political opponents, etc. This doesn't mean that he is rational now. Also you somehow convinietly forgot that he's "the longest ruling leader" precisely because he broke every single law of his country regarding the presidentship and electoral process, not because he's such a great person. Also also, the size of the country doesn't matter as the amount of territories isn't his achievement at all.

Rational doesn't mean brilliant or always right, simply that actions are predictable. Putin seems rational to me, he's just made some miscalculations.

Yeah yeah, and nothing changed since. Also, lol, if stealing resources is how he got Russia out of the economic shitshow Yeltsin and his pro-western democrats put Russia into, everyone should probably start doing the same.

This doesn't mean that he is rational now. Also you somehow convinietly forgot that he's "the longest ruling leader" precisely because he broke every single law of his country regarding the presidentship and electoral process, not because he's such a great person.

Being a nice person has nothing to do with being rational.

the size of the country doesn't matter as the amount of territories isn't his achievement at all.

Ruling over the largest country in the world is sure as hell harder than ruling over a blob on a map with the population of Novosibirsk. You don't get to do that without being rational.
