Honestly I think it’s an act. Maybe he thinks that way but his role is to be the unreasonable, mad attack dog snarling at the west and threatening them with a worse time which makes Putin look reasonable and illustrates the possibility of someone worse. Maybe he’s gotten angrier and harder edged since he was in power after all the issues and betrayals but I wouldn’t count on it necessarily.
