Poor Russians are still pathetically trying to get “the cool kids” to notice them. Putin has asked the White House to meet with his representatives in order to discuss how best to fight ISIS in Syria. The offer was, of course, rejected. The facile fellow lives in a world of his own. He believes that he will finally make the Americans notice him and treat him as an equal but nothing is working.
The really sad part is that there is no likelihood that Putin will abandon this goal. He will keep acting in ever more outlandish and aggressive ways, trying to get noticed. And his acting out always consists of killing innocent bystanders.
This is a very bad situation because the more Putin is thwarted, the more desperate he gets, and the more violent his acting out becomes.
In order to understand what he is doing, it is crucial to remember that this is a man obsessed who is being thwarted in his life goal.
