      Putin seemed like one of the most competent and wily world leaders from 2000 to early 2022.

      So far. Putin also looked not as bad as today before he started messing with Ukraine. I think the same base applies here. We also have no idea what is going on in the head of Winnie and should they actually decide to attack Taiwan it would get more obvious.

      Winnie the poo has spent that 15 years taking out any threats to his rule. All that is left are yes men. It’s reported that he didn’t know about the rolling blackouts China was experiencing several years ago until someone from a US delegation asked him about them.

      He’s killed the messenger soo many times that no one wants deliver the message let alone advise him on the best course of action. He may be smart with good political skills but he can’t be an expert on everything.
