There is a big contradiction in your post here. If the Russian people must be made to get rid of Putin because he's protecting murderers we'll also have to ban virtually every other country from international football too. Compared to the US or Germany I reckon Putin isn't even the worst of the bunch.

Ehhhhhh....

The fact that Putin, as an individual, is on par with two of the most powerful countries in the world kinda indicates why he's such a problem.

I probably could have worded that better. Russia is not a monolithic Putin-faced block and there are lots of currents in the country, even in the military and Kremlin that actively oppose him.

Not that it matters much here as this thread wasn't created to shit on Putin but Blatter.
