Should U.S.A. actively pursue in the removal of Putin?

Hello, Should USA pursue a policy to actively remove Pres. Putin? and replace him with Socialists, Communists, or Nationalists? I think it is best we promote a policy which will help the Socialistic parties within Russia(there are 3 which are listed in the Duma) and to strengthen relations with Russia and work with Russia with our space program and global foreign policy objectives.

I don't think Russians want socialists and communists back. Nationalists? Maybe, who knows. But wasn't Putin who accused the Kiev government of being far right (in the west and former soviet countries far right is conservative nationalism)? Anyway, Putin's party, even though it's open to everyone, is mostly centrist and conservative, I think Putin is more or less a conservative, so I don't get the 'far right' accusation. What's the problem of far right anyway? From the moment one allows far left parties (communist democratic) we must allow nationalist far right too (democratic nationalism)

Why isn't there a fucking option like 'The US should keep their noses out and let the most voted party win the election?'.

What could possibly go wrong?

Hell no.

Nice idea but we have a shitty track record on this sort of thing.

USA should mind its own business on this one.
The Russian people are quite capable of bringing down regimes

I'd rather have Putin than Obama.

In a word no, because it's not our business. But I didn't cast a vote, because I don't think he should be in power. However, that's the business of the Russian people not people a continent away with a history of cold war animosity towards the former USSR .

Wrong, the person who opted for...Far-Right??? Never will happen because then the Russian people will never forget the NAZIs. Anyone could simply use that idea(and lose elections in Russia) and of course the Nationalists are very small in the previous voting percentage anyway. The only ones which have increased in voting percentage are the socialistic parties who talk about bread&butter issues(also those who have been kicked out of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation ---> The Patriotic party). The future horizon for Russia after Putin is the Socialistic parties who are NOT Far-Left(Communist parties) and Far-Right(Neo-Nazi like parties which by the way has always gotten a small percentage of the vote) , nor Conservative Statists (Putin has NOW spoiled it for these kinds of political species within Russia). Therefore, the only parties that are not SPOILED(to lose) are the new and recent Socialistic parties.

This is a perfect WINDOW-OF-OPPORTUNITY (E.E. Schattschneider idea) for the Socialistic parties within Russia to totally present a cogent political argument against Putin. The only thing America needs is a President with a great vision that would unite the two nations (only on a global idea and initiative and NOT into one nation). I think something like -- The Global Polar initiative or the Bering Alliance or the Bering Federation -- which would work to improve both of their societies and remove nuclear weapons and work on space colonization together.etc.

By the way, I never meant revolution by violence but rather VOTING revolt.

I wish we could manage to stay out of all this crap, and get out of the crap we've already gotten into.
