McFaul: Putin is weak.
A strong leader gets information and makes new decisions based on it. Putin doesn't.
He gets information only from the FSB, SVR and the red folders they prepare for him. 1/
McFaul: A strong leader does not fear independent society or Alexei Navalny. Putin feared Navalny. He fears independent organizations. Fear is a sign of weakness, not strength. 2/
McFaul: Putin is an ideological leader. Many people believe in America he is a transactional person.
I disagree. He believes he has a historic mission. You cannot wage a war like this for years if you think rationally. 3X
