>Putin’ an ex-Communist autocrat who invades his neighbors. He is a dictator who rigs his elections, and imprisons or kills his opponents.
Funny, you’ve just described Hillary. Only she has a much, much worse track record than Putin. Putin’s done good for his nation while Hillary’s entire life work has been to destroy ours.
See, this is nuts. Hillary is awful and I'm thrilled she lost, but that doesn't mean Putin or Maduro or Kim Jong Un are better than her or equivalent. This is bizarro-land moral equivalency. Putin employs warlords like Ramzan Kadyrov who literally murder hundreds if not thousands of his citizens. You can't physically move without an internal passport. The economy is in free fall. If you want to run a company and you don't give someone connected to Putin an ownership stake, you get thrown in jail or killed. This is not a normal country nor is it remotely equivalent to the United States. It's political insanity to say that our enemy's enemy is our friend.
