The Dictator’s Bubble

A psychological and political phenomenon in which an authoritarian leader becomes isolated from accurate information due to state-controlled propaganda, loyalist networks, and filtered intelligence, causing them to overestimate their own power, the strength of their country, or the effectiveness of their policies. This bubble reinforces overconfidence, suppresses dissent, and increases the likelihood of strategic miscalculations, especially in military, economic, or political decision-making.

"Putin’s decisions in Ukraine show he’s living in the dictator’s bubble."

Person 1: "What would you do if you could go back in time to when Hitler was a baby?"
