So when ever he seems others struggling, he will add oil to the fire to make them more miserable. He can not stand how every other country around him progressed and grew and was successful, but he was not able to because of his bad leadership. He will drag down everyone around him, so nobody can see how low he is. It is a distraction at this point. If he can not be a successful and loved leader, nobody should. The russian way to deal with complexes. And Trump is the same. They love destroying things if they can not get praise for their low efforts.
Sadly, that counts for a lot of Russians as well. I’ve grown up with Russians, that got out in the very early 90s. They where probably the most lovable people I knew. Extremely friendly, very open and fair.
Nowadays, most Russians that come out of Russia are not that. They do exactly what you describe. To everything and everyone.
It’s the danger of leaders like this clinging to power. Their very existence makes more people cynical and resigned to their leadership, the only reality they know.
Trump is doing it to the US too. Both the left and the right have become more cynical, because the fact that Trump even exists and succeeds requires lowering our standards, and makes us less hopeful about the very reality we live in.
