      I’m finding it harder and harder not to like the guy.

      Really? Because he's a right wing murdering goon who uses his intelligence services to ruthlessly crush any dissent, violently represses the left, and would probably shoot you if you ever caused enough of an annoyance to be noticed.

      Putin is a really, really bad person. There's no reason to "like" him, ever. He gets some degree of extremely critical support because he's a thorn in the side of NATO. But remember that it's because NATO came after him, not because he wanted to be NATO's enemy. He's tried to join NATO repeatedly and would happily cooperate with their world order if they would let him.

      Like seriously folks don't let contrarianism and disgust for western hegemony get you to start rooting uncritically for a different monster just because he's a different monster. The key part of critical support is "critical"

            i chant 'death to america' every day. I'm laughing as it actually happens, sorry.

                Yeah it’s the Ukrainian population and to some extent the European Nations (and Russia) picking up the tab for this, big W if the US comes out of this with the Dollar intact.

                watching the us dollar lose reserve status because the dummy politicians overplayed their hand is hilarious, actually. IMF must be destroyed before more third world countries can have revolutions.

                edit: also, sorry that the ukrainian nazis are having a hard time, i guess?

                  I agree it's funny watching Nazis eat shit and the US lose status but to revel in the continuance of a war that's causing untold suffering is very weird

                    I wouldn't say i'm 'reveling in the continuance of a war'. I'm just enjoying what good news comes out of it as I have absolutely no power of any of it.

      You do not, under any circumstance, have to hand it to the guy.

      But he is occasionally funny.

      I think "like" is not the right term to use here. He's as much a crook as any westoid leader.

      However one must recognise his intelligence and ability to predict a situation. He seems to be a lot smarter and more perceptive than most western leaders.
