Why Putin Particularly Dislikes the British

It is a well-known reality that bullies do not enjoy being confronted. Most bullies are cowards who are compensating for some perceived inadequacy. In the specific case of Putin and Russia, the situation is markedly more complex. Russia is a corrupt, gangster-led country with a woefully ineffective military. This is because we can see what he really is, and he does not like that we see him for what he truly is.

Britons' Fearless Criticism of Putin

It is precisely because we are not afraid to criticize Putin and Russia that we stand out. Britons do not shy away from critiquing those in power, especially when they are inadequate or insecure. We criticize for a multitude of reasons – we enjoy it, we believe in it, and we have to. Criticism is almost a national pastime in the UK. Imagine if Putin lived in Britain, he would likely end up as an insecure petty-minded middle manager. This manager would likely earn a decent wage, buy a decent house with a high mortgage, and have decent savings, along with a wife driven more by material possessions than the essence of old Vladimir himself.

Putin's Fear of Criticism

Putins' deep-seated fear of criticism is rooted in his inability to handle truth and accountability. His power lies in his ability to ruin lives rather than to admit mistakes. He prefers to put people in jail, whether they are opposition leaders, reporters, or teenagers, rather than face criticism. This fear of public scrutiny is why he invades and occupies; he would rather have more people killed than face the embarrassment of being questioned or held responsible for his actions. His actions are not about leadership but about avoiding the harsh reality of his inadequacies.

Contrast Between Russian and British Politics

In a more democratic environment like the UK, Putin would not fare well. If he attempted to transition into politics, he would likely not pass the selection process. The UK electorate, known for its critical nature, would not vote for someone as insecure and fear-driven as Putin. Here, Putin would face much the same scrutiny as someone ordering excessive or inadequate supplies of office supplies, which would be heavily criticized by his staff.

Conclusion

In conclusion, Putin's deep-seated fear of criticism stems from his inability to accept his failures and the truth of his leadership. In a more democratic and critical society like Britain, Putin's true colors would reveal a man unfit for leadership. As a result, Putin particularly dislikes the British, for they see through his facade and do not hesitate to call him out.
