Yes, but also because Putin wants to keep his puppet stooge in power for at
least the next 4 years, and after that Don Junior could take over and start
a dynasty.

I agree, the only living dictator who could beat Vladimir in the pure
villainy department would be Kim Jong-un, the guy POTUS said he had "fell
in love" with. I wouldn't trust Xi Jinping further that I could throw him
and he violently opposes giving the Chinese people any of the freedoms we
take for granted in the USA, but at least he's economically competent and
has given them economic prosperity which is unusual for a dictator.
