Oh, well then, if you’re not a Putinista, I misjudged you.
OK, so back to your theory about Putin:
“and he hates the gay agenda enough to make it his dominant concern”.
Since you think that Putin is primarily motivated by hatred of gays, what do you predict he will do next?
Introduce laws banning gays or gay sex, rounding them up in gulags or what?
It’s not illegal to be gay or have gay sex in Russia currently.
