I don't choose the way the world operates. Putin is no worse than Obama, Biden, Netanyahu, Blair etc. The only difference is the latter group pretends to be on the side of the nations they were elected to serve. Obama, for example, dropped more bombs per day than any other president ever. He wrote a book describing his regret about bombing children, but kept on bombing them anyway. He also keeps his Nobel peace price and then delights in the idea that Trump (who started no new wars) is the a-hole.

Anyway, I don't expect Putin to be on my side, I expect him to be pro-Russian. He gave a famous speech in 2007 that warned America and NATO not to forget the understanding forged after the collapse of the Soviet Union. He may not be a good guy, but, don't kid yourself, the psychopaths running the White House are far more dangerous.

Trying to excuse Putin's barbarity by deflecting to the history of the US is a terrible defence. Just a tip.

Shall we compare the histories of the Kremlin and the White House and see who was the most evil?

What criteria will we base the assessment on? The number of people murdered by each regime? The number of decades brutally occupying countries against their will? The number of mass deportations to Siberian gulags? The deliberately induced famines? The murderous purges?

Pretty clear who is going to come out most evil.

But don't let that stop you trying to excuse Putin's attempted genocide in Ukraine.
