Three weeks or so ago, the crazed Mr. Tyrant called a press conference in Moscow to address growing international alarm toward his madman moves of military might in invading and occupying the Crimean peninsula in Ukraine - moves of military force not just illegal in the eyes of international law, but also in direct violation of the treaty the Soviet Unio...uh...Russian Federation held with Ukraine.
On only the dictate of Mr. Tyrant (and the invading military offense to back it up, of course), Ukraine's government itself was declared illegal, a tyrannical action - in Mr. Tyrant's irrational mind, at least - which provided just cause to immediately cancel-out that treaty, which in turn automatically required the military invasion of Ukraine to protect Ukrainian citizens from their own government that Mr. Tyrant had declared illegal.
So illogical was Mr. Tyrant's sad stab at pr performance that Anne Applebaum of The Washington Post posted:
The dictator's "weird moment" moved German Chancellor Angela Merkel to remark that Mr. Tyrant seemed to be living “in another world.", and that he had "lost his mind."
Enter, stage center...
But the wannabe-rational Dr. Putin starred last Tuesday when he addressed the Russian Federal Assembly to champion the forceful annexation of Crimea into the Russian Federation. After weeks of Soviet...uh...Russian invasion and occupation, the wannabe-good doctor stood on the Kremlin's main stage and offered the world the role his pseudo-benevolent side strains so hard to play:
Thus, the Statist Case of Dr. Putin and Mr. Tyrant, so obviously written in classical Orwellian Doublespeak, is a tale which simply proves once more:
You may act to take the doctor out of the tyrant once in a while...
...but you can never truly take the tyrant out of Putin.

Putin's press conference reveals that we may have reached the weird moment when the dictator believes his own propaganda

I appeal to the people of Ukraine. I sincerely want you to understand us: Under no conditions do we wish to bring you harm, to insult your national feelings. We have always respected the territorial integrity of the Ukrainian state.
Don't believe those who terrify you with Russia, who shout that other regions will follow Crimea. ... We want Ukraine to be a strong, sovereign and self-sufficient state. ... We want peace and amity to come to the land of Ukraine, and together with other countries we are ready to provide full cooperation and support to that end. But I repeat: Only the citizens of Ukraine are able to bring order to their own home.
