I couldn’t agree more with Robert Eringer’s assessment of Vladimir Putin in last Sunday’s News-Press (“Invading Ukraine Would Ultimately Spell the End for Putin the Terrible”). Mr. Putin is a vicious “psychopath” and a “megalomaniac autocrat.”
He had one admirer among the leaders of western democracies who seemed to actually idolize him as some type of ego-ideal with whom to identify.
That’s right, our very own Donald Trump. Everyone in this country should thank the 80 million-plus Democrats who voted Comrade Trump out of office and replaced him with someone who sees Mr. Putin for the villain and enemy of democracy that he really is.
