Of course we can blame Putin. He took advantage of a weakness to empower racists and criminals, and make the world a more hateful and painful place, for power and spite. Finding a lost man in an alley doesn’t mean you can rob him and leave him in the gutter. He’s a piece of shit, and we shouldn’t forget that.
we can take him to task morally, of course. but he was just advancing his country’s interests as he saw them.
