Putin is not planning on being the ruler of the world

Lots of bad things are said about Vladimir Putin and most of them are probably accurate. But a desire to rule the world? No, I don't think so. First of all, he's obsessed with turning Russia back into a super-state and keeping neighbouring countries, particularly Ukraine, under his wing or at least sphere of influence. That will keep him busy for the rest of his presidency. He may like to threaten Nato countries but he is not going to war with the alliance, and he certainly doesn't want to invade the UK, or Spain, or Germany. That's all fanciful stuff dreamed up by armchair generals who need to get out more. Yes, the world is a crazy, dangerous place but unless we get another Hitler emerging with world-domination in mind, we are not, as everyone seems to think these days, only a few steps away from a third world war. Presumably and hopefully, the stockpile of nuclear weapons in the hands of Russia, the US and China will always guarantee that a third world war will NEVER happen. So, stay cool, everyone, and stop all this alarmist rubbish.
