Quick Summary

I observe that user comments on Vladimir Putin highlight his perceived challenge to the international rules-based order, significant impact on global energy markets, and use of hybrid warfare tactics, while also presenting a counter-narrative of him as a strategic leader defending Russia's national interests against NATO expansion.
