Putin is not a competent leader, nor is he a competent head of state.
He's a competent con-man and psychopath. That's it. Same with Trump.
America only has partial freedom & democracy. Trump did not win the popular vote in 2016 and would not have become president if the US election system didn't have an archaic, incoherent anti-majoritarian mechanism built into it.
Biden (or even Hillary) is miles better than either Putin or Trump.
