That brings up something a segment of the crowd wanting us more involved in Ukraine-Russia under the idea of Russia bad(and like everything else, party A bad does not make party B good) should pay attention to considering the average US leftist also supports Ukraine.
Historically, the average US leftist is big on being anti Nazi(which is kind of odd considering some of their crap) but absolutely worships people like Fidel Castro, Mao, and no idea seems better to them than the good old USSR. So why all of a sudden are US leftists not worshipping a product(kgb man Putin) of their utopia?
It's hard to be a ACLU hating, philosophically Libertarian, socially liberal, fiscally conservative, scientifically grounded, agnostic, porn admiring gun owner who believes in self determination.

Thank you for sharing your wisdom, we've been schooled.

While I'm of the opinion that this couldn't happen to a more deserving pile of poo, the real question is what would happen next. Putin seems to have pretty effectively eliminated all rivals, so much so that he seems to have brushed off the coup attempt with out much obvious damage. With how week he came off looking from that, you'd think any remaining rivals would have acted by now. If he has no real rivals, who's going to take power once he's moldering in the grave? Will that transition be of benefit to the west, or will the inherent instability of an autocracy without the chief autocrat cause more problems?
