I'm not anti-Russia, but Putin is a terrifying presence in world politics, and this is due not only to the conduct of his soldiers and his alleged involvement in civilian slaughtering airstrikes in Syria, but also to the loyalty he inexplicably inspires both in Russia and in other parts of the world.

look I do not want to sound antiwestern again, but it will sound like it because I am going to be critical.
lets forget the fact that it wasn't Russians who invaded Iraq on a lie, lets forget that it wasn't Russians who invaded Lybia on a lie and Syria via proxy terrorist armies that are just fronts for the west (suchfriendsaredangerous is getting ready I can see it), but no, left and right now: it's the Russians. and I am not saying Putin is god's gift to the world, I am not saying everything Russia does it is perfect, but what is happening here, this demonitasion of Russia and this playing out the western powers that have created such a death and mayhem in the world year after year are somehow good guys in this John Wayne good guy, bad guy way of portraing the world is a nonsense and if we don't start to see it and start to call up those politicians for the nonsense they are talking then we are going to find ourself in another global conflict, purely through ignorance and buying the official story without the question.
