My point is what I think they would actually do based on their clinical profiles,
their psychopathology, cognitive functioning, past behavior, motivations, etc.
This comes from science, facts, data.
Putin might start blowing up things as part of a cool calm thought process to distract
as he retreats to his secure and secret hideaway. His best bet to remain alive is to maintain
a low profile and never be heard from again. We know he will most likely be very angry but
his desire to live will outweigh his violence desires.
Trump could start lashing out yes, but he can be easily manipulated to go quietly.
I am also going to add that I think it very unlikely that American generals will
act on Trump's orders to blow up the world. Even MAGA generals.
This comes from my years as a military kid and understanding the military way of thinking.
High ranking US military officers will not start nuking their own country. Not only does it ideologically
go against the grain, they want their cushy retirement funds and luxury lifestyle.
Can't get that if they blow up taxpayers.
That said, predicting human behavior is not a certain science. Too many unknown variables.
And humans are not 100% predictable.
