    But you realize you’re defending Putin. The Thief in Chief of the Kremlin, probably the most successful Kleptocracy in history.

    The guy who had apartment buildings in Russia bombed, killing 300ish Russians in 1999? Who then used it as pretext to invade Dagestan and trigger the 2nd Chechen War that killed 80,000 Chechen civilians?

    Then of course, once he got presidency, he retained power to this day?

    And let’s not skip over his FIRST invasion of Ukraine which he annexed and turned into Crimea?

    And if we want to get to a more personal level, the fact that he humiliated his wife once he rose to prominence by spending his time with “dancers” shows what kind of person he is outside of the international arena too.

    That Putin? Or do you need more?
