Putin worships the FREEDOM god of the USA beast.

President Putin said (in AP article)... "Yes, it will mean a global catastrophe for mankind, for the entire world. But as a citizen of Russia and the head of Russian state I would ask: What is such a world for, if there were no Russia?"

..."What is such a world for, if there were no Russia?"

Putin is willing to destroy mankind for love of FREEDOM "my rights, my Russian rights".

See how FREEDOM feeds on itself.

As you can see, Putin worships the FREEDOM god  of the USA beast.
