I do not think of Russia as the “evil empire” any longer.
Especially compared to ISIS. ISIS are evil savages without respect for human life and a complete disdain for the enlightened thinking of western society.
You are right that when compared to the Islamic savages, Mother Russia is civil but...you underestimate a MANIAC like Putin...
Well then, you need to pull your head out of your butt, wake the hell up, and learn a thing or two about the things they've been doing since the 'fall' of the Soviet Union.
