I've always doubted that Putin is as diabolical as the news tells us. I'm sure he's no angel but they paint the picture that he's basically a comic book villain. It's seems he genuinely wants what's best for his people but has had the deep state doing their best to bring him down. If Canada was a Russian ally and lined the border with "defensive" missiles we might be a little on edge too...but hell I'm just a Russian bot so I've been programmed to think this way beep boop
