    Keep in mind that Bin Laden was responsible for an attack against USA citizens and infrastructure. Putin did a lot of shit to several of Russia’s neighbors (Ukraine is just the biggest target), spied on several countries, but never openly attacked USA territory, citizens or soldiers, nor that of any NATO allies.

    If the USA did put a bounty on him, it’s likely Putin and Russia would receive public support from currently neutral countries, because here goes USA playing world sheriff, pretending to own the entire fucking place and ignoring nations’ rights to sovereignty again

      Which seems hypocritical since the US never attacked those neutral countries directly. By their logic they should mind their own business.

        Which neutral countries are you talking about? Because USA has created enemies in neutral and “neutral” places and directly attacked other countries without provocation, like Iraq, Lybia, Afghanistan, yet nobody put a bounty on Bush or Obama’s heads, but rightfully complained about 'merican overreach.

        By their logic they should mind their own business.

        You know how neighbors will complain about one another, but overall try to keep things civil and not invade the other’s home to “fix” things? That’s more or less how diplomacy is supposed to work. USA is that bully neighbor that decides to ram your door and invade your home, guns blazing. Russia did the same with Ukraine and they keep calling out the hypocrisy when 'murica complains.
