“So I’d argue Putin is a better leader even if he’s a hypocrite.”
You shouldn’t, since Putin is an enemy of our country and would rather see us all enslaved. He is just trying to get on our goodside so that, if a conservative President comes to power, we’ll look the other way as he continues to develop his nuclear forces for a potential conflict with us. Meanwhile, people are still being murdered, and his people suffer.
I think you’re oversimplifying things. Someone can be against current US policy without being our enemy. I don’t like nearly everything our dear president has done, and I don’t think our dear president’s policies are good for the nation either. Does that make me an enemy, too?
I think Putin has offered some pretty good advice on several issues. Do I think he’s a good guy? No. But I think you’re stretching if you claim Putin wants to see America destroyed and Americans enslaved. Frankly, we’re doing pretty good in that regard without Vlad’s help.
