Never suggested myself that, THE LORD, has such attributes.
'arrys the serial accuser, not I. He's your "whistle down the wind" practitioner.
"Blackwood's Edinburgh Magazine, 1826:
Surely someone who can whistle down the wind this painful weakness of his nature ... is an anomaly, not a man."
Ask arry to put up his evidence.
A tray full of GOLD is not worth a moment in time.
ln a defensive mode only, or do you have some offensive examples to share with us.
Here is wiki's list:

^Syria is a defensive operation. Vs Sunni Islamic Jihadists, many foreign.
Ukraine also, albeit two pronged- the overwhelming Referendum victory in Crimea, and the rather messy low grade in Russian east Ukraine, following the coup.
Chechnya- a war vs Islamic separatists and notorious gangsters.
Putin comes across as the good guy. I'm getting all gooey.
No point.
The list is of wars involving Russia, no breakdown into offensive or defensive.
I can see we disagree on the definition of "defensive use of ones military".
The "other groups" are being and will be redeployed, by their backers, wherever it is deemed appropriate to extend the fictitious "War on Terror".
How many of the "other groups", have the governments of OZ, NZ or Malaysia offered "safe haven" to?
The other thing you can do when you have an iron grip on the country and have hand picked your lawmakers:
"Useful for society, for our citizens" = "Fucking great for me and fuck anyone who opposes me".Russian President Vladimir Putin laid out a path Tuesday to staying in power after 2024, as lawmakers approved sweeping reforms to the constitution.
\In a surprise address to the lower house State Duma, Putin said there could be a presidential "reset" allowing him to run after his current term expires.
"
This would be possible... if the constitutional court rules such an amendment would not go against (the constitution)," he said.
Putin appeared before the Duma after lawmakers proposed a series of amendments to a package of constitutional reforms he announced in January.
Among them was an amendment annulling previous presidential terms -- effectively allowing Putin to run again after his current six-year term ends in 2024.
"These amendments are long overdue, they are needed, and I am sure they will be useful for society, for our citizens," 67-year-old Putin told lawmakers.

If he's the great Russian patriot he claims, he should be thinking about succession. Look at Tito before him- once he kicked the bucket, Yugoslavia disintegrated.
I agree
You always make me lough
Why they do not learn from others where they have every 4, 8 years a new one who will make the country great again?
Try discussing the on topic opinions posted, rather cowering behind such a flimsy defences.
The topic is the fate/human rights .... of the "millions of women and children", allegedly.
Much more "democratic" to hand the reins down to one's groomed wife, son, daughter .... or simply promise obedience to those that matter.
If the parliament offers the opportunity, which it appears to posses, to change the Russian constitution, stand for re-election against all competitors, .... the Russian voters will decide. There is an opportunity for others to participate.
Or the hidden hand of the counting machines/humans/assassins/corrupt grandees/zillionaires.
As "others", elsewhere, portray as democracy.
Perhaps, he should listen to the wise ladies serving in the high positions (in case they really said it, who would believe it)
(another lady in such position mad much worse remarks about Mr.P.)
That Madeleine Albright, former U.S. Secretary of State, said that it is not fair that Russia possesses such vast natural resources. Variants of the quotes attributed to her include:and“How is it fair if a territory like Siberia belongs to only one country?”
“It is terribly unfair for Russia to have so much of the world’s natural resources.”Did Madeleine Albright Ever Covet Siberia?Source: Various media including Kommersant and Rossiiskaya Gazeta
FALSE
...unless you believe in mind-reading
There is no record that Albright ever made such a remark, and she has denied ever saying it. But for roughly a decade the former U.S. Secretary of State’s alleged designs on Siberia’s resource wealth have been repeated as fact by Russian media outlets, bloggers, and some top officials, including National Security Council chief Nikolai Patrushev last year, children’s rights ombudsman Pavel Astakhov in 2013, and Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Rogozin in 2012.
The claim has come up at two of President Vladimir Putin’s big set-piece annual events. In 2007, when asked about it in his annual call-in program, Putin said he was “not familiar with Mrs Albright’s statement, but I know some politicians have ideas like this in their heads.” And at his December 2014 annual press conference, Putin said Moscow had often heard officials say that “It is unfair that all of Siberia and its vast resources belong to Russia,” before implying that those officials were American. (Video at around the 37-minute mark)
The Siberia remark is often rolled out as evidence of a U.S. plan to weaken Russia in order to seize its resources. Sometimes it’s attributed not to Albright, but to a more recent U.S. Secretary of State, Condoleezza Rice -- or simply to the United States, as when Patrushev said in January that Washington “believes that Russia possesses [its mineral resources] undeservingly.”
It's the type of forum conversation method.
Nothing can replace sitting in some comfy chairs with a table, beers or not, for the ultimate conversation.
^And another "worth" she got materialized for herself in Kosovo...
