Okay GOP, now is your time to shine and show how much you really love America

Putin can't even govern strong enough in his own country to build proper roads(I live near Russia). A lot of infrastructure in Russia as well as in my country, which was a soviet state, is from soviet times and is rotting. Russia don't care about your tribe and especially you when it's sits in shit.

I think you may have just accidentally answered your own question. Russia is falling apart economically and needs a way to get out. Putin has a vision for Russia of bringing it back to it's powerful state that was the Soviet Union all under his control. He will and is doing anything to expand Russia's power globally. Why do you think he buddies up with Syria and Iran? Answer: they have warm weather ports, something Russia lacks at the moment. This was another reason annexing Crimea was so important to him. For a good chunk of the year Russia's navel ports are iced in. However, even if the ports they have now such as Crimeia and Sochi they are still required to pass through waters that are controlled by other nations that oppose Russia and Putin. And a nation without a strong Navy cannot be a world power, history has demonstrated this over and over again. Again, Putin knows if he can blackmail the leader of the freeworld he can practically get whatever he wants, hence benefiting his country and himself.

As I said before, read up on history. You'd be surprised. It's not tribal, and it's not paranoia. It's a legitimate worry. Putin is trying to destabilize the west so he can move in and take over other nations, giving him more and more resources. If he can't govern properly, then why aren't voters in Russia aware of this, and why does he keep winning in landslides.

It's noble to die for your tribe. I'm not in to that kind of stuff.
