4. We've been dealing with Putin for almost 26 years

And for whatever reason either we couldn't get him out of power or we've thought he was better than whatever alternative lurks.

To be fair, Putin gained a lot of strength during Trump's first term. And nothing will be done about Putin (by the US anyway) until Trump is out of office.

I always figured Biden would have gone after Putin stronger than he did, given the Russian collusion with Trump and the threat to Ukraine.

I think everyone is very concerned that if Putin gets backed into a corner that he might just start launching nukes.

But he is definitely a hitleresque leader and very much a threat to all of Europe.
