>> Is he?

Yeah, Biden himself recently said that Putin is a rational actor who grossly miscalculated, because he was basically fed very bad and flawed intel. He may be blustering about nukes now, but the only way he would do that is if Ukraine turns the tables and invades Russia, or something similar.

How would Biden know what a rational actor is? He can barely string a sentence together.

Would a rational actor enslave an entire ethnic minority in work camps, allow harvesting of organs, crush their financial world hub (Hong Kong), and so on?

This is a gross thing to say about someone who has a speech impediment.

Refresh your memory with Biden videos from his vice presidency, and you'll see that he has no speech impediment except progressive senility.

There is nothing irrational about the first two! Crushing HK is a rational necessity if there is a danger of such disobedience spreading to other regions.

"Rational" has somehow become synonymous with "good" or "agrees with me" - rationality doesn't have anything to do with those, it just means "not insane".

And tyrants can be exceedingly rational; they just have their own goals that they're working towards, not the goals of some theoretical "perfect democracy".

It's insane to farm people for organs and to run concentration camps.

Yes, I think this is a great example of parent commentators point.
