"Western governments should be doing what they can to help this unprecedented challenge to Mr. Putin's autocracy survive and grow...
"Mr. Putin has dedicated himself to exploiting the weaknesses in democratic systems. Now is the time to return the favor."
Consider what the Post is calling for here:
The U.S. and NATO nations should openly side with protesters in Russia's cities whose goal is the overthrow of Putin and of the internationally recognized government of Russia.
How, one wonders, would Americans react if Putin openly urged worldwide support for the "Stop the Steal" mob that invaded the U.S. Capitol to overturn the results of the Nov. 3 election?
Totally did not see that coming!
