A 300 year old paranoia, at least.  It's not Putin, it's standard Tsarist/Soviet/Russian paranoia.

In Soviet Russia paranoia owns you.

The Russians:
A) were annoyed by the expansion of Nato and the EU;
B) were annoyed by Kosovo's independence and thought what the heck, we will 'liberate' South-Ossetia; and
C)were annoyed by Saakashvili's provocations who thought that the US were going to help him. Quod non!

...therefore genocide and pillaging are a perfectly justified response!
