I would go one step further and include a declaration of "eternal friendship" with the Russian Federation in your American constitution.
The amount of adoration many of our US Defenders of Freedom and Liberty have for Putin, his dictatorship and expansionism I can see there being something in this.
Confederation of Russo-American Soviet States, or CRASS - yes, there's a certain irony in that for those that know - has quite a ring about it.
I'm sure Putin would be a stout defender of the hallowed US Constitution and its values that so many of his US acolytes still bizarrely allege to worship.
I CANNOT confirm Putin is a bad guy with the lying Western media being my source.

You don't have to rely on 'Western media' to determine Putin is a 'bad guy'.
Just look at his actions; manipulating and changing the Russian constitution to ensure he can stay in power for far longer than is legal, controlling elections and prohibiting any viable opposition, by sending opponents and critics to Gulags in the frozen Russian hinterlands or defenestrating or Novichoking them, by forcibly enforcing Russian rule in many ex-Soviet regions that sought independence or autonomy, by interfering in neighbouring countries elections, by using many false pretences to invade neighbouring countries despite being signatories to their defence and independence, by threatening the world with first strike nuclear attacks if he doesn't get his own way etc.
I could go on but I'm sure you get my drift.
His actions speak far louder than any words can.
I don't know what Biden has to do with Putin?
I agree, Biden is an awful President.....he should never have been allowed anywhere near The White House.
But that doesn't alter the fact that Putin is a repressive and brutal de facto Dictator who has dreams of establishing some sort of new Greater Russia at any cost and regardless of the wishes of the peoples from those countries he wants to control.
Putin is about as anti-US values as a politician can get....but still we get those who seek to defend him just because of their dislike of Biden.
Of course we are all being conditioned to varying degrees, that's the inevitable result of living in a social environment.
We all of us each has to try to discern the truth from the lies.

Stop looking at it from the perspective of good or evil, and start looking at it from the perspective of power and control.
End of the day it is a choice, our way of life, or Putins, because he won't stop at Ukraine.
I know which side my bread is buttered.
