Since when do leaders have to personally execute every command? He surrounded himself with yes men for decades.
Did Putin conquer Russia all by himself?
The idea that he's some kind of lonely tyrant and accountable to no-one really implies that he actually is a god, like he somehow managed to take over the largest country on Earth and rule it with an iron fist and there wasn't anyone else that helped him get there or helps him stay there (and could help him "retire" if he ever became a problem)
I've never said he alone is responsible for everything. For example, he has loads of assholes trying to defend him online.
Good night.
Defend him? I literally just said he's an employee of the government, just like every figure head. The government is in charge, not the godking lol
