Don't know why they bother asking. Of course he is. He's a murderous, calculating authoritarian, and the world knows it.
Giving him the opportunity to laugh it off and brush it away is counter-productive.
Christ do you know how many people died because you libturds denied the Wuhan reality.
How many died because your TDS gave hydroxy a bad name
I would trust Putin way more than any destructive murderous libturd
I respect and trust the little turd in NKorea more than you
I know how you guys feel about Putin. And I'm not surprised about how you feel about Kim.
As much as I try to understand you, I don't know how you can justify this. As Americans.
We see that he is a national leader that is trying to advance his nation's/people's interests.
We respect that, and are jealous that we have not had that much, in recent years.
That does not mean that we don't know that his career was in the KGB, or that he is an authoritarian strongman.
There's another one.
My statement was not a deflection. YOu expressed an inability to understand something and I clearly and honesty explained it.

Putin doesn't give two shits and a handshake about his people. Putin advances Putin's interests just like Trump. Man you cultists got it bad...
What makes you think that Putin does not care about advancing russia's or the russian people's interests? You fucktard.
poisoning journalists who expose corruption?
outlawing the music & jailing musicians/artists that protest the policies of pootey poot?
having such little regard for the innocent people of russia by gassing some his own citizens, making their dead lives an example to dissuade others from doing it again?
Pick your best one. Gish galloping is the tool of the lazy weak.

Hostage crisis in Moscow theater
On October 23, 2002, about 50 Chechen rebels storm a Moscow theater, taking up to 800 people hostage during a sold-out performance of a popular musical.
The terrorists—including a number of women with explosives strapped to their bodies—identified themselves as members of the Chechen Army. They had one demand: that Russian military forces begin an immediate and complete withdrawal from Chechnya, the war-torn region located north of the Caucasus Mountains.
Chechnya, with its predominately Muslim population, had long struggled to assert its independence. In 2000, President
Vladimir Putin was elected partly because of his hard-line position towards Chechnya and his public vow not to negotiate with terrorists.
After a 57-hour-standoff at the Palace of Culture, during which two hostages were killed, Russian special forces surrounded and raided the theater on the morning of October 26. Later it was revealed that they had pumped a powerful narcotic gas into the building, knocking nearly all of the terrorists and hostages unconscious before breaking into the walls and roof and entering through underground sewage tunnels. Most of the guerrillas and 120 hostages were killed during the raid. Security forces were later forced to defend the decision to use the dangerous gas, saying that only a complete surprise attack could have disarmed the terrorists before they had time to detonate their explosives.

After the theater crisis, Putin’s government clamped down even harder on Chechnya, drawing accusations of kidnapping, torture and other atrocities.
