Oh I love a dare! Okay then: Putin does not love Russia and does not just want the wellbeing and best for the Russian people and does not just want Russia great again. (MRGA? Doesn't really sit well, does it? Maybe MUSSRGA?)

By the way, you're incredibly naive if you think Putin wants what's best for Russia. Putin wants what's best for Putin, and if he could get that by selling out or destroying every man, woman and child in Russia he would do so without a second thought. Also, luckily, though he may act like one, Putin is not a dictator: he is president, and is held in check by the Politburo and the ghost of Stalin, or whoever holds the checks and balances in the Russian parliament. If he were to be given ultimate, unfettered power, a la Hitler/Kim Jong Wotsit, we would probably be at war now. The man's a menace, a lunatic and a bully. He has no interest in making Russia strong; it merely suits his purposes to do so. He wants to bring back the good old days, remake the Soviet Union, turn back the clock and be the strong man of Europe, and will do anything he can to make that happen. Remember, this is the man who may very well have allowed or even set up the massacre of children in a Beslan school, just to get the mandate/excuse to go into Chechnya.
I suppose you cheered for the invasion of Ukraine, did you? Are you cheering now? Why not join the Russian army and put your money where your mouth is? No? Thought not. Easy to cheer from the sidelines, isn't it?

Positive. Good. Dictator. For some reason Norg, I get this strange creeping feeling that you're not well versed in modern history. |

No he's not. He may be SEEN as a dictator (and may be in all but name) but he's not "the Russian Dictator", he's the Russian President. Like it or not, he still has to follow Russian laws and policies. He can't write new laws without the Politburo etc etc basically yes he's a dictator as we see it but officially he is an elected (!) president.
In any case, the main thrust of my argument there (not that it did any good and even you cherry-picked the bit you could contradict me on and ignored the rest) is that Putin, dictator or not, does not want what's good for Russia. He couldn't give two ****s about Russia. He wants what's good for him and his ego. Norg 1 TH 34,450

Do dictators usually call themselves The Official Dictator of [Country]? I think we need to give a point to Norg on this one.
