US always been a benevolent country

 US always been a benevolent country.  Would Putin accept to live in Puerto Rico after the Russian's people give him a coup d'état?  Why would the people and Russian's military generals would overthrow him?  Vladimir Putin is sinking the Russian' economy supporting the movement of a large army that is consuming large quantity of food, fuel, and ammunition in war practices while the Russians citizens does not agree with what he's doing.  Russians are commenting that what Putin should do is pay attention to the inflation the country is just starting and going through ...pay attention to local hospital, school repairs and the country agronomy and stop creating or seeking for wars to neighboring countries not looking for problems with Russia.  That what he, their president should seek is to export their petroleum and gas to invest the money in the reconstruction of their beloved nation instead.  People are commenting that amongst them with "a voice under the table".

A retired Russian general's criticism may signal a larger problem for Putin (msn.com)

“Ivashov believes that NATO is a hostile power, but his experience has taught him that the NATO/U.S. threat is under control and no external threat is imminent from the Western powers. The massive buildup of Russian troops on the Ukraine and Belarus borders, therefore, is not to deal with a threat from the West. Rather, it is to divert attention from the internal health, demographic challenges, living-standards collapse and pervasive corruption that the Russian citizenry is suffering under the mismanagement of an incompetent Putin regime.

Ivashov points out that the Putin model has in no way demonstrated its superiority to Ukraine, to Crimea, to the two "separatist" Ukrainian republics or to anyone else. Under Putin, Russia has become an international "pariah," he says. Its annexation of Crimea is not recognized by credible nations, and Russia is widely viewed as a rogue state because of Putin's "criminal policy of provoking war."

Ivashov distinguishes between Russia's highly trained professional officers' ranks and the Kremlin's military "elite," headed by what he considers to be non-entities. If Putin's policies -designed only to solidify his internal power - indeed push Russia into a "catastrophic war," he adds, it won't be Putin's Kremlin soldiers who pay the price; rather, it will be the professional officers and the tens of thousands of young Russian conscripts who will be killed or crippled in the fighting.

Adding to Ivashov's concerns is his fear that Turkey could join with Ukraine in a military alliance if war does break out. That, of course, would be an entirely different ball game for the Russians to confront.

Ivashov's solution: Fire Putin if he can't be forced to resign and, if necessary, put him in prison for his "criminal policy of provoking war."

Of course, all of that is highly unlikely to occur.

And yet, according to Ivashov's account, he is speaking for a significant portion of Russia's professional military, the one institution most trusted by the Russian people. If his claim is true, then those military men, retired or still in uniform, must feel very strongly or else they would have remained comfortably quiet, enjoying their pensions and privileges, rather than incurring the wrath and inevitable punishment of Putin.

Putin undoubtedly will find a way to punish Ivashov for his outspoken criticism, and perhaps other members of the All-Russian Officers Assembly as well. But he cannot wipe out all those who believe what Ivashov has said. Nor can he afford to alienate his professional military.

It just may be that with all his saber-rattling and gamesmanship over Ukraine, Putin may have created an opposition that he cannot silence so easily.
