That is an unfair comparison. Putin inherited a country on the brink of 
collapse. He stabilised it and produced reasonable growth. Many of his 
problems have been caused by external pressures, which do not exist for 
the US. Not least of which is USA enforced sanctions.

Experience in Africa show us that trying to impose liberal democracy on 
countries, without the social framework to handle it, can be 
catastrophic. Yes, Putin is a tyrant, but I suspect, currently, Russia 
needs a tyrant.

You'll have to spell out if you are talking about the USA or Russia. 
Today I was reading about Cryptocurrency billionaires trying to 
manipulate the US democratic process to remove a senator seeking to 
regulate them.

FWIW, I don't understand why Soros is presented as an arch villain.
