Is Vladimir Putin a bad leader for Russia

Since my opponent refused to response at my arguments, I'm forced to answer to his personal opinion again - A=Opponent's statementB=My answer -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------A=Putin shouldn't invade Ukraine because Ukraine deserves to be a free nation. If he invades again, there could possibly be another war. If Putin is so great, how come he is causing instability in Ukraine. He even supports terrorism and the Palestinians that attack Israel when Israel is trying to be peaceful! He is the reason for instability!He is harming his own people! B=That has notthing to do with whether or not he is a good leader.I want to remind you that we're debating on the topic "Is Putin a good leader for Russia"and as far as I remember Ukraine and Israel aren't part of Russia . While Obama was winning a Nobel Peace Prize and perpetrating undeclared wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, Putin was using every piece of his influence to oppose unjust and internationally illegal wars. In 2003, Western powers used their political influence to invade Iraq, with no credible intelligence of weapons of mass destruction. The war eventually lead to higher oil prices and the murder of one million innocent civilians. Cooler heads in the United Nations like Vladimir’s Russia staunchly opposed the war and doubted the dubious intelligence from his rival leaders. Putin tried to prevent the disastrous Iraq war by vetoing resolutions in the UN, but the powerful Israeli-American lobby, AIPAC, convinced American politicians to invade without UN backing. Just as in Iraq, Putin staunchly opposed the intervention in Libya, which has also turned out to be a humanitarian disaster. Libya went from an internationally law-abiding country to a fractionalized nation that is being controlled by radical elements. The country’s infrastructure was seriously damaged, and far greater human rights abuses are being perpetrated now than ever took place under Gaddafi. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------A=He only wants more land because his oil and gas are in sharp decline and his economy isn't the best anymore.B=Under Putin’s eight-year reign the Russian economy grew every single year, with an overall GDP increase of more than 70%. During the same period, investments rose 125%, industry grew by 76%, and poverty decreased 50%. The average monthly salaries in Russia increased from $80 to $640, and the middle class grew from 8 million people to 55 million.Under Putin’s eight-year reign the Russian economy grew every single year, with an overall GDP increase of more than 70%.

If only American Presidents could respect freedom and other nations’ sovereignty like Vladimir Putin, the planet would be a lot more peaceful.Sources:wikipedia.comthebilzerianreport.comwsj.comforbes.comtheguardion.comThank you for the debate.
