Unlikely. Putin is a product of russia, not the other way around.

Putin is a product of the KGB and USSR, and is a uniquely slick, effective global leader.

a real life James Bond villain -- who won the game, and took over a country.

If you think he's slick, you should listen more attentively to his ̶h̶o̶r̶s̶e̶s̶h̶i̶t̶ speeches.

That's the same type of rhetoric used to diss Trump and it did not work to keep him from gaining popularity. The same goes for Putin, he might not be everyone's idea of a great leader but he has proven to be capable of gaining and keeping power.

For those who wonder, no I am not comparing Trump to Putin, they are two totally different people with different personalities. I am referring to the ineffective rhetoric used by their opponents.
