#1 Typical UK journalists. Intentionally misleading headline and the word 'Bloodbath' sewn in insidiously, giving it the KЯemlin tinge.

I wouldn't want anybody but Vlad in Russia if I was a russkie. There are several anti-establishment types, russkie versions of AOC and even secular, diversity loving islamophile globalists trying to play 'fearless quixotic leader' there. Gotta be held in check or they'll turn back whatever progress Russia has made with Putin.

#2 Only progress in Russia has been in Putties bank balance.

#3 Putin has destroyed his nation's chance at success. Whatever few good policies he has had have come completely by accident as he faces off against his southern Islamic neighbors in Chechnya. He has nearly destroyed the Ukraine, prevented any real economic, social, or political progress from occurring in Russia, and kept himself and his chosen few oligarchs incredibly wealthy and isolated from the troubles that Russia faces.
