I find Putin's comments almost comical. The leader of the most totalitarian state lecturing the US and its leader on democracy and exceptionalism, is at best, laughable. He even speaks of God and Blessings. This is just astounding when Russia, primarily has no belief in God and Putin and his minions have done all that they can to suppress belief of God and worship within their country. Of course, he doesn't believe in exceptionalism. He believes that all should be made equal, through government policies, as all Communist, Statist leaders do.
