It's incredible, the amount of suffering one man's ego can generate. Putin could have lived out the rest of his days living like a king of old but he hungered for the glory of the USSR and over a million souls have been lost. How long will it take for the world to forgive Russia? They will be stuck with North Korea and Iran for friends for the foreseeable future.
This is extremely simplistic, and ultimately out of touch with reality view. You've spent too much time in California if you think the Russians ousting Putin can ever take place. I suggest you read up on what Mearsheimer has to say.
I don't completely agree with your analysis but I very much appreciate your well written and considerate examination of debatable facts. If the dialogue around this issue were brought to the level of your writing, this world would be a better place.
