The Putin shit test.
Edit: To contribute to the discussion a bit more:
Is it just me, or is it just plain stupid to call the leader of a country "a killer" in the first place? Heads of state are responsible (arguably indirectly, but nevertheless still responsible) for deaths on a regular basis. The shithead in office before Trump droned people on a weekly basis, no?
To be honest, I would be shocked if Putin, after having ruled a country the size of Russia for so long, had not been responsible for at least a few deaths.
Am I going crazy or was Bill O'Reilly's original "but Putin is a killer" a completely retarded non-sequitur on par with a lot of the shit spewed by actual leftists?
