I find it highly interesting how people who try and put these despots in a rosy light almost always require using “America” as a foil for how totally evil and wrong they do everything, meanwhile ignoring the person they support has launched no fewer than three(just from my amateur knowledge) invasions into countries that Russia has __literally__ zero claim to in any sense.

By the way, I found your post totally unhinged, though you did hide it pretty well until your final point where the guy ordering assassinations against his political opponents(read: “when they threaten his power”) is somehow painted as the reasonable and moral person.
