Rob Slane asks, "Is Putin Weaponising Stupidity?"

Putin isn't taking weaponizing stupidity, as Mr. Slane notes, "It could just be a case that we really are run by ignorant buffoons who never learn, and even if Mr Putin were inclined to develop a way of Weaponising Stupidity, he’d actually be wasting his time."

Still, it's a nice theory.
