Putin has a sense of humor, I think this is one reason the globalists hate him so much. Their puppet leaders couldn’t tell a joke if they tried, and they sometimes do.
If you love his humor so much, try living under it.
Unless you are a billionaire oligarch with your wealth stashed in London (aka Londongrad) — You won’t be laughing. Most of the Putin defenders on FR don’t have a clue what average Russian life is really like.
