Putin considers the West to be weak and slow and in many respects this is true. Putin makes decisions that go unchallenged and are instigated almost straight away. This is one of the benefits of being a dictator. In comparison the decisions made by the West are slow and often watered down. Before making these decisions there has been a period of debate and considerations that often water proposals down to nothing.
Putin considers the West to be weak probably because of the ways that NATO and the West operste. Think of NATO: it must get unanimous support before it can implement anything. Also NATO is hampered by having Victor Oban of Hungary in it’s ranks. Oban is supportive of Putin which makes matters much worse.

Why Russians have handed over the power of their own minds to question, to a supreme leader who supplies all the answers and tells them what to believe is the truth is something that we in the West find difficult. Now Putin controls all the media and the whole narrative and has installed or should I say reinstalled the KGB to police what people in Russia are thinking. Putin tells you what to think and what to believe and the masses who believe him then police other citizens to impose Putin’s rule of law. Putin controls the media, the internet and the police and army and these are exactly the things he needs which allow him to be a dictator. Russians may be suspicious but they are also unquestioning. They are suspicious of one another and of anything Putin declares to be dangerous to them such as westerners. Despite Russian’s suspicion of the West, nobody in Russia can trust anyone else either. This is the society that Putin thrives on. It’s the KGB all over again. Turning your neighbours and so called friends, even family into the authorities for not thinking correctly. As a Russian you cannot trust anyone else and neither can you think for yourself. It’s easier to let Putin decide what you can think and believe than to hold opinions which may be at odds to those of your despotic leader. That would be too dangerous.
