If somebody backed Putin into a corner, then I very much doubt his reaction would be any different.

Thus far, he hasn't been cornered, and don't forget, he made himself President, so I doubt he would lose a seconds sleep over cleansing entire countries if his needs demanded it.

Incidentally, one of the futilities of war is that large numbers of people die needlessly. Also, I very much doubt that Hitlers suicide was out of guilt, he was cold and calculating to the end. Much like Putin...

Putin likes to recount the story as a boy in the slums of St Petersburg when he used to chase after rats with sticks until he cornered one and it turned and launched itself at him so he ran away. This now translates into corner Putin and he will double down and esclate a sitution in a reinforced attempt to win. This is a very dangerous trait.

That is very interesting Rod

It could explain a lot about Putin and what he has done to date and what he may do in future.  A dangerous trait indeed.
