Russia is the largest country in the world, spanning parts of Asia and Europe, and currently led by Vladamir [sic] Putin. Along with China, Russia is commonly seen as the greatest geopolitical threat to the global hegemony of the United States of America and the West at large. Chris considers both Russia and Putin to be adversaries, not strictly because of its adversarial relationship to America, but primarily because of the anti-LGBT laws passed by Putin's government in recent years, as well as Chris following the lead of many other left-leaning individuals by blaming Putin for the election of Pmurt in 2016.
