Putin turns every attack into a mystery, leaving opponents baffled and guessing his next move
Russian President Vladimir Putin uses a tactic likened to 'The Godfather Test' where he makes every attack seem like a mystery and turns it into an opportunity for counter-attack, allowing him to gain the upper hand in global politics. This approach has contributed to his ability to evade criticism and maintain his power base despite numerous international sanctions and accusations.
Ambassador Gordon Sonland compares Vladimir Putin's handling of attacks on him to the infamous 'Godfather Test' where Don Vito Corleone gathers crime families to secure peace. Putin always manages to turn every attack into a mystery, making it difficult for his opponents to pin anything on him. This tactic allows Putin to evade accountability and get away with wrongdoing. By doing so, Putin has cemented his reputation as a master of manipulation and deception.
