    i mean… that is one of the most volatile regions in the world in the 21st century and it is almost entirely putin causing that. if there’s little competition then it’s because he’s the only major power in the region stuck in last centurie’s mindset and trying to pull the rest of us back. everyone else being better now is a point against putin.

    it’s like the rest of the world saw WWII as a lesson on how not to be, and he saw glory.

      Sure, but we’re just getting started, the resource wars haven’t even begun in earnest. He simply doesn’t have any good competition for the title of world’s biggest murderous shithead besides Bush Jr and Xi.
