Totalitarian in western democracies & partners:
- Trump fires as angry chief employees
- Reduce state employees of opposition
- Reduce old but still active judges of opposition
- Close fake printmedia, like CumHürriet (Erdogan),
or critizing print media like Orban. - Propagate smoking weed or drinking 3 beers as more criminal,
then crucial violence against civilist.
Totalitarian in Russia:
- Kill a highly deserving and respected army general Alexander Iwanowitsch Lebed with a ready to go from FSB, crash his helicopter because he is running as an opposition politician and is popular with the people.
Maybe his helicopter crashed just like that by ransomware. - Change the constitution, so that Putin can become president as many times as he wants, but not 3 periods continously.
- If chess world champion Garry Kimovich Kasparov demonstrates with a few old intellectuals against that constitutional change, then throw him in jail for three weeks on suspicion of terrorism.
- Use dioxin against the new Ukrainian president during the first orange revolution. if Ukraine wants to turn more to Europe.
- Invade Crimea if Ukraine wants another time to be nearer to EU and hold a quick refverendum vote. while many Russian soldiers in civilian clothes cross the border into Crimea and keep watch.
- Expropriate oligarchs, if they want to form left-liberal parties against Putin and put them in prison.
- Kill agents with plutonium, that want to flee to the west.
- Support Assad and Muammar al-Gaddafi in the Arab Spring by advising them to fake soldiers as even more radical ISIS jihadists. (ISIS never fighted Assad or Hezbollah or Revolutionary guards, only Kurds and FSA). Give your partners air support and carry out brutal ground-to-air attacks.
- After your German supporters (former SED and few far right) push Bibi and Erdogan out of the western circle, threaten them, but say you mean well. Have the German supporters attempt a coup against Erdogan after he shoots down a MIG or even a stealth SU-57 in Turkish airspace.
- Murder Kazakh ambassador Rakhat Aliyev in prison in Vienna because he disloyally wanted more support from the West.
- Make Europe 99,7% gas dependent on Russia.
- Transfer frozen Gazprom Assets from the City of London to the moscow stock exchange.
- Have a local female politician threaten the former tourism djinn and current Bonesman Skeleton, telling him to be careful not to lose his two sexy legs, because exiled russian businessman like him.
Conclusio:
The idea from Putin as strong man, who takes, what ever he wants efficient persistent, stubborn brutal without remorse and the disgust with democratic political correctness and human rights unfortunately make Putin's image impersonate mainly in the West and turn some (not all) honest republicans into reptilian shotgun outlaws.Epilog:
I have seen at least zero Putin mania.
Putin says "NJET 100%" and plays so long power games, even help warlords,
"I want even have other business partners, but you are important".
