Putins mental health is deteriorating over time. I don't even think he shares a view of reality with most of the other people on the planet and his stable of sycophants are too afraid to say or act (at the moment).
 

Putin has always been a full blown dyed-in the-wool narcissist and psychopath.
He is just conscious of running out of time, that's all.

I hope that he will have his Brutus-moment, when the sycophantic stable gets tired of him and want to come out to play in Monaco and the french riviera again. There just needs to be a new Tsar so there won't be a power vacuum, and the Brutus-crew must be assured of continued power, so a lot of dealing going on at the moment I suspect, in deepest secrecy.

Yup. The eternal quandary of the political would be back stabbers - will I in the end eliminate more rivals by betraying them to Vlad for defenestration, or joining with them to wield the knife?
