You need to read the Fiona Hill interview in Politico if you haven’t. She was saying that something changed in the past two years. He seems paranoid and out of it. He looks puffy and out of shape. There is speculation he is in a lot of pain from a back injury. I agree that he’s probably become a paranoid delusional. It doesn’t help anything to know this now but it helps understanding his frame of mind. https://www.politico.com/news/magazine/2022/02/28/world-war-iii-already-there-00012340
