He's the type of guy who will apply pressure to anyone who wants to mess with Russia, but at the same time always leaves a way open for a compromise and peaceful resolution.
This is why he's such a tough nut for the west to crack. He doesn't get stubbornly stuck on one position and flies off the handle with threats and ultimatums, like the dumb US state dept. He simply reciprocates what US/west does.
By behaving this way, Putin can always claim that it was others who forced him to do what he does, and he'd be 100% right and justified in saying this; and the Russian people in general will agree with him, and his popularity rises.
He's one of the smartest and capable leaders in the world right now.

US power rests on the pillars of exploitation, domination, and theft. If the US gave up being an empire, closed down all foreign bases, called it soldiers home, stopped interfering in other countries affairs, stopped stealing from them--in short, act like a normal country and a responsible and civilized member of the international community, then its wealth and power would disappear overnight; bus so would a lot of war and mayhem which was cooked up by the US.
And that would be a good thing!

Russians know that US is lying and provoking them. That's why whatever the US is planning won't work. Once a liar has been outed, it's over for the liar. US/NATO plans for Russia will only succeed if most Russians buy US propaganda and lies, and they're not.
If US propaganda and lies don't have the desired results, the US sends in goon squads. If that doesn't work, US attacks, but with a nuclear Russia this plan has become permanently stuck on step one.
