Putin is no saint, but to think is is the primary cause of all the world's ills is silly. I had a look at your post, and saw many claims, but nothing to back them up.
However, if you can show evidence to back the claims you made in the post, it might be interesting to see.
My suspicion is that much of the trouble in (and flowing out of) the middle east has a lot to do with competing religious and tribal interests, and competing pipelines.
(To be fair though, I don't understand the competing tribal interests well enough to make a clear argument to back the claim.)
In this, Putin is definitely no saint, but he is also not the only sinner.
