I agree with you Russia is an autocratic state, run by an autocrat (not a totalitarian state, that would be North Korea). That's unfortunate.
But let's be reasonable here, Shareprofit:
The worst, most repressive autocratic state in the world is still less worse than any genocidal "democracy" like the United States by several orders of magnitude.
