I know plenty and it’s much, more embarrassing to read your incorrect assuming.
Everyone knows was KGB for years and still is at heart no doubt. He increased the number of years he could remain president by changing laws (lets see if Obama tries that one). Just like Obama his family history seems to have “vanished”.
He invaded Crimea and took it back by force (if Crimea was truly happy about it as was claimed or not who knows?)
I’ve read very, much about him. I’ve also read up on Hitler, Ronald Reagan, the Kennedy’s, many Chinese dynasties,...you wish to assume which of those I want as a “dictator” or know nothing about?
I find Russia is becoming more American and America more Communist every, single day.And you claim to "know plenty?" LOLOL
