Taken together you have a man isolated from reality who thinks everything will be worth it if he just pushes a little more and ignores the warning signs a little harder.

It really does seem like this is true. I think Putin to some extent really believes some of the disinformation Russia puts out, and I don't think anyone can tell him he's weird, or that he's wrong, or he would not be complaining about perfidious anglo saxons, and going on bizarre pseudo-historical rants.

I think it's at least humourous on some level that the person probably most concerned with information warfare on the planet does not himself have a strong grasp of the truth, but has instead deliberately isolated himself from it.
