Just A Reminder Of How Toxically Insecure Putin is. Do You Remember 19 Years Ago When He Planned To

... sue Warner Bros. over the DOBBY THE ELF character from Harry Potter? Claiming it was a swipe at him? All I can say is, if the Dobby character was modelled after Putin, they did a FANTASTIC job!

Dobby's qualities were the best. Good soul and good friend. People cried when he died.

I don't think anyone will miss Putin when he's gone.

Putin should have been honored if he thought there was an inference.

You can’t go around insulting him like that and expect no repercussions.
