Putin IS the villian here. Putin is at the least an autocratic dictator, at worst a neo-Soviet communist KGB thug who is hell bent on not only restoring the USSR but achieving what the USSR1 could not... Subjugating the West.
What is left of the “west” in Europe? The EU is more commie than Russia is. Urkraine is not our problem. If we want to get riled up about a foreign dictator, we should focus on what is happening to the people fighting tyranny in Venezuela.
Putin is much better than Obama in every way. Putin is no commie. Have you checked out Russian taxes? Western Europe is more Commie than Russia
