"What we tell others can end up convincing us as well. The Russian leader has created a modern, Russia-centric news machine that puts forth his view of the world. Is he deceiving himself?"
Putin may be addicted to his own lies in an ever present search for power and self enhancement through corruption and wealth acquisition.
He acquires beaches, harbours, gaming joints, super sport centres, and holiday resorts to addict others, but is he fooling his own subconscious? He is.... trapping himself in his own deceptive logic net!
