“Putin/Obama, is there really much difference?”
I suspect that Putin probably loves his own country. Obama - not so much. (If you assume that Obama’s own country is the USA)
I suspect that most of the damage done by Putin is directed at other countries, which Putin considers “Russia’s Enemies”. Most of the damage done by Obama is directed at America and Americans, which Obama considers the enemies of ? (whoever owns and operates Obama).
Very true and an important point you made.
