Just don't be a Russian and try to coup him or anything like that, obviously.
But other than that he's just a pretty typical Machiavellian ruler by old world standards
It's actually pathetic how bad he wanted to be let into the cool kids club to the extent he asked to be let into NATO (he is very westernized himself) and got given the runaround like some nerd asking Stacy to the prom and Trump tore up the ABM treaty and then forgot he did that and all sorts of other casual snubs. I actually think Putin and his moving red lines and impotent warnings is half the reason he's been treated so badly.
The propaganda is just absurd at this point and its at odds with the old propaganda so we're supposed to believe he is this ailing absurd figure that is about to get overthrown by popular revolution at any moment yet simultaneously he's literally Hitler Sauron Voldemort preparing to roll over all Europe just as soon as his special military operation is completed
