Comment Really? He caused 2 wars (Score 1) 70
War in South Ossetia/Georgia. War in Ukraine. Ongoing civil war/occupation of Chechnya, and he played quite a big part in that. You could argue that 2nd Chechen war was effectively started in order to make Putin popular and put him in power.
How has he been a better world citizen. He's been as bad as USA, probably more.
And I'm not saying this to praise USA. As someone else said, this is a choice between a thug and a crook.
Well, ok, unless you count the whole mass surveilance business. And then other shenanigans created by USA corporations. But I could argue Putin would have done the same and more, except his hands were too short- Russia is not as powerful as USA, and not as technologically advanced.
