Does the poor Putin deserve sympathy?

Putin trolls worldwide want to spread the opinion, that poor innocent Putin was forced to start the war by the malicious NATO.

What do you say to that?

"The poor Putin???"
 
I voted the obvious bottom 3. There's a few good reasons why some people should not even exist and people like Putin is certainly one of those people.
A good argument for retroactive abortion!

No.

 
News from BBC today:

If you're just joining us, here are some of today's main developments from the war in Ukraine:

  • Another mass grave containing 900 bodies has been found in the Kyiv region, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky says
  • Zelensky also said he would be willing to hold peace talks with Russia's President Vladimir Putin despite Russian atrocities
  • Meanwhile, Russia's Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov says his country does not consider itself to be at war with Nato, state news agency Ria has reported
  • A senior defence official has said the US does not believe Russia will use nuclear weapons, Reuters reports
  • The US has accused the Russian president of "depravity and brutality" in his invasion of Ukraine

 
No way!

Just heard that he plans to attend the G-20 meeting in Indonesia (which invited him).

What a nerve!

Here he is viciously murdering innocent men and women and children and babies.

Yet he has the gall to show his face instead of slinking into obscurity.

Surely most of the other leaders there will refuse to shake his hand or to stand too close to the stench.

Of course, I assume President Biden will refuse to even look at him.
 
Well, regardless of whether or not anybody votes for the two first options, we know who they are because they haven't exactly been secretive.

The system he heads has shown itself to be highly flawed in several ways, leading to the situation in Ukraine.

Yet he was OK with that system when it thought invading Ukraine was a good idea, even though in hindsight that was not a good idea, at least the way they went about it.

I have no sympathy for him.

I can't vote since you poll is slanted and does not give enough proper options... like, "For what specific reason?"

Putin is murdering these people? Specifically how?

Sympathy for what exactly? The man seems to be living his best life.
 
The "where do you like" polls are probably better.

With "sympathy" I do not mean "compassion" here.

More something like "agreeing with him".

The US and NATO provoked him to be sure.

The death and destruction he has caused is unforgiveable.

He screwed up so badly he has to double down at this point.
