I dont think Putin is a great man by any means, but at the same time, I do not believe he is the evil villain that our Govt and media have portrayed him to be either. After all, our very own Govt has done some horrific things to not only the people of other nations but even worse so to its very own people and under the guise of complete and utter lies, manipulation, and even downright secrecy. A nation pointing fingers at a leader of another making strong accusations while having three very fat fingers pointing back with having an equal or even worse record.
