In the West governments have a balance of power, especially the US. Opposing Putin in Russia means no business and death by Polonium. I am not sure why you wish to defend a murderous dictator, the people of Russia deserve European style freedom and as long as glorious Putin is alive they will have none.

Russians have a cursed capacity for suffering and I don't blame them for being afraid of Putin, but eventually someone should take him out for the sake of the country. The longer the citizens of Russia are denied basic freedoms the more irrelevant Russia becomes. There is no need for this besides Putin's greed.
