By the way, if Putin is as you characterise him, then why do the Russian Generals/& Security Apparatus , Oligarchs and Russian Politicians tolerate him ? These people are not fools..on the contrary they are exceptionally well educated/intelligent people .
So tell us your theory ..eh?
IMO, if Putin were to be debunked tomorrow, the odds are that he would be promptly replaced by someone equal or worse than him with respect to relations with the West..
So as the saying goes..." Be careful what you wish for...eh?
