if he didn't intervene in Crimea or Ukraine but kept all his policies otherwise intact, including the ones repressing minorities and pro-market ones, he wouldn't be nearly as hated by these people.

all the old putin tough-guy memes are plenty of proof of this - you couldn't go anywhere on the internet without seeing that one picture of him on a horse

    To defend Azov, I've had a lib send me a picture of Putin riding a horse where it's reins had a metal swastika buckle and tried to imply that Putin is a nazi using the same logic but

    1. That wasn't Putin's horse, he was borrowing it on a visit.

    2. His visit was to Mongolia where Buddhism is the largest religion.

    I expect swastikas in Buddhist countries. Swastikas in Europe only mean one thing.
