2. Putin is not fomenting global wars
Despite the West's relentless efforts to portray Putin as some sort of warmonger in the style of, well, contemporary Western warmongers, Putin's track record for keeping Russia out of foreign military entanglements has been impeccable. This indisputable fact continues to be a source of great irritation, I believe, for Western governments.
Consider the situation in Ukraine, where Putin has displayed a remarkable level of wise statesmanship to the point where the Western media must actually fabricate grand works of fiction in order to support the West's increasingly delusional rhetoric against him. The most ludicrous work of fiction to date is entitled something like, "Putin's Invisible Invasion of Ukraine."
