This was an obvious question with only one true answer: YES! Putin is absolutely a dictator and don’t let anyone gaslight you into thinking otherwise! I deleted and blocked all the Russian bot trolls.

[ohsheeT]

I don't really know too much about him
I do think he's a very smart man and I think he does do what he feels is right for his country

For the people
I think sometimes though he goes overboard for the elite because he has an ego.

If there is anything that I don't like about him that is just because his army or his country has capability of doing damage I don't think it's right that he walks into some place and tries to take it just because he wants it or needs it I think there's other ways that he could have went about a lot of things since he's been in office

It's kind of like the Chinese president wanting to start a war with Japan because he wants something

But but in saying All the above. . We have had the same type of presidents

I just I just think that we are smarter and I'm talking everybody in this world that we don't need violence are killing innocent people to get what you want it's business but murder is not business selfishness is not business having an ego is not business

Proving to your higher-ups or your elite group of people that you're a badass because you can walk into a place and kill people I think is most disgusting thing ever

Like I said Putin is a smart man he would have 10 times more of the respect than a lot of our presidents if he did things right and not just because he can or he thinks he can one day it's all going to backfire for all of us.

That's why I don't want Trump to represent me because he has that ego and big mouth too

[ManOnFire]

Of course. I can't understand the losers who think he's such a cool guy. He is just another despotic male leader using the same old big shot swagger and shit to seem like he is strong.

Has he done good things for his people and his economy? Almost all dictators do some good for their own people here and there, but that doesn't make them saints by any means. He still persecutes those who don't agree with him politically and has people killed, and his "strategy" of a "war of attrition" that uses up large amounts of the male population in an effort to subdue his enemy (Ukraine) is both foolish and wicked.

[Still-alive]

Wow i actually agree with you on something lol

[ManOnFire]

I was unaware that we ever disagreed🤣

[Maybe_Maybe_not]

I'm gonna be surprised as well huhu

[Still-alive]

Ohhh you know what i got you mixed up with maninchains (who also answered). My bad

[Maybe_Maybe_not]

That one is another breed indeed lol

[ManOnFire]

He's not so bad. We don't agree politically but he's alright @maninchains

[TsundereMatrix]

I say yes even though in my opinion he’s a step up from Kim Jong Un but still they are allies with each other so it’s still a yes in my book.

[katiesmuff]

It would be very close to being a dictator if not actually being considered one. He seems to have complete control of the government.

[GoodGuyBreakingBad]

Yes I do, so who knows?

[Still-alive]

Most people know. It’s obvious

[RebelinSteel]

I think someone would need to be a huge fuckwit not to understand that Putin is a dictator. I mean he ticks pretty much every box that says I’m a dictator and a “global baddy”, well apart from the cat, which just goes to show cats have taste. He is personally responsible for a huge number of Russian deaths and murders, not to mention Ukraine, Georgie, Chechnya and any other country he’s fucked around with. It is amazing how unlucky some Senior Russians are though, falling from windows, drowning in the middle of the desert etc.

[llorando]

Yes, but it's not our job to overthrow him through a disaterous proxy war, it's up to the Russian people to outs him if they truly want him gone. Overthrowing foreign dictators has never worked out well in the past, and only made things worse for us and the people imof the dictators country.

[DrPepper12]

No one is proposing that... Yet...

[Still-alive]

It’s not our ‘job’ but someone has to stop him and his expansionist empire ways. If we lose there it could be disastrous for all of us.

[llorando]

@DrPepper12 They don't have to, anyone can see that is part of the goal with this disaterous proxy war. That's part of the reason we sabotaged a peace agreement mediated by Turkey and Israel. FYI, not everyone who opposes the Ukraine war is MAGA or a Putin supporter, many of us independents oppose Putin while opposing the war cause we're tired of innocent Ukrainian's being sent of to be slaughtered in a US proxy war so defense contractors get their paycheck while inflicting damage to Putin/Russia

[llorando]

@still-aliveIt It's upto the Russian people to get rid of Putin, not ours. It's already disaterous, and only getting worse, cause we keep adding fuel to the fire because war is more profitable than peace. Ukraine wouldn't be in this situation had we not sent Boris Johnson over to sabotage a peace agreement mediated by Turkey and Israel that would have prevented the war in exchange for Ukraine remaining neutral, recognizing the Russian language and renewing the lease agreement on Russia's only warm water port. Ukraine is never going to win this war, worst case Russia is backed into a corner with nowhere to go resulting in the use of nukes, most likely case Ukraine becomes the next Afghanistan after the failed proxy war is no longer profitable to defense contractors and western corporations.

[Still-alive]

Disagree. Thats where ill leave this

[llorando]

That's OK, others have done their homework, and agree with me.
I said in another thread this:

"The US with its threats of NATO is as much or more to blame for this war as the Russians are.
Also, sorry to say this, but Ukraine could have said ahead of time they would not join NATO and would just remain neutral which would have avoided this war and retained the status quo with Russia and Ukraine being independent countries.
The Russians are not going to agree to US airfields and missile bases on their border than the US was going to agree to missiles in Cuba".

What is your reaction to this news about Ukraine and the US? ↗

[Still-alive]

"That's OK, others have done their homework, and agree with me."

And this is why i stopped following you. this is an arrogant af thing to say.

[DrPepper12]

@llorando. And where were we When cry me I got invaded?

I'm sure that security guarantee we gave them when they gave up their nukes to the Russians after the USSR broke up gave them a lot of comfort!

And you don't think that Taiwan and Israel and any one of a number of countries in the South China Sea weren't watching when we reneged on our word?

[llorando]

@DrPepper12 It was a big mistake on our part to guarantee security in exchange for giving up their nukes (should have kept their nukes), and it was also a big mistake to expand NATO to Russia's border. The warnings not to expand NATO to Russia's border have been happening since the 90s when Clinton. Those countries were watching, Isreal in particular, also watched as we sabotaged peace agreement between Ukraine and Russia they helped to mediate. During the 2022 peace agreement that Turkey and Israel mediated, Russia started withdrawing troops till we sent Boris Johnson over sabotage the agreement and we talked Ukraine into fighting, knowing very well it's a war they cannot win. Instead of trying to end the war, we keep adding fuel to the fire because it profitable for defense contractors to keep the war going. It's not just defense contractors benefiting, western corporations are buying up Ukraine's government assets party because of conditions on loans they can't afford to pay back. I hate Putin as much as everyone else, but I'm not going to let my hatered if Putin interfere with reality, which is the war is another US/NATO proxy war depriving Ukraine a generation of young men so defense contractors and western corporations get their paycheck while inflicting damage to Russia. Is Putin innocent in all of this? No, neither is, US and NATO.

[DrPepper12]

Big disagree with NATO expansion and Ukraine nukes.

[paledreams]

I thought all politicians in some people's cynical minds wer "just overpaid over-glorified unemployed actors"
Aka that they're all may as well be actors, puppets, in someone's grand master scheme of this thing we call Earth and civilisations since the formation after the animal kingdom dog eat dog world 🌎🌍 🐶🐕

[paledreams]

So shockingly I actually voted No - not that I shocked myself I mean that I do see most politicians as the above, overpaid unemployed "actors" in someone's grand master plan lol 😆😆😆 the world is a business in Network lol 🎥📽️

[goaded]

If you deleted them, we can't see who they were!

[Still-alive]

level 1's mainly. probably long gone by now

[mandyfire98]

I mean of course. Lol
Was it ever a secret?

[Still-alive]

Some people are shills but i think we all know he is lol

[Still-alive]

@TheCaller because you are an obvious Russian stooge. Also your account was disabled earlier but you’re back. Looks like you got multiple accounts.

[mandyfire98]

Oh well nobody takes the Russian government seriously anymore they can't even beat Ukraine. They're cooked.

[Still-alive]

Hehe yes

[DrPepper12]

Allow me to reply to MAGA nation defenders of Putin...

[ggrurrllz]

Of course, he is. He is pretty much in total control fo the state. He has elections. So what? hitler did. The Chinese CCP has elections. merely having elections means little. Russia is an autocratic state in democratic state's clothing.

[beefcakebradybatson]

Is the Pope Catholic? Is water wet? Is a buxom blonde HOT !!! Do the Chicago White SUX reek? Is Lizzo fat? In other words, ya think?

[Matt_M]

I think his head is long overdue for an explosive encounter with a sniper's bullet.

[electromagnetic]

Out of site, out of mine.

[Still-alive]

His actions had the potential to affect all of us really

[electromagnetic]

Absolutely but then probably death will come for me to which I’ll be out of site, out of mind.

[seyfturk]

I don't know because I'm Turkish, but I see many Russians who hate Putin on social media.

[ManInChains]

Yup. And he endorsed Harris.

[Sirenboobzilla]

Which was proven to be satire... come on man, keep up.

[Alexandrubaschet08]

He is even worst then that he is a Tyrant.

[Wiredone]

Of course he is

[Maybe_Maybe_not]

Obviously obvious
