The Russians, maybe. The Soviets, certainly not :-P

That said, Putin may be considered /evil/ enough, but is he an adversary 
to be /feared/?

I don't think the average US-American citizen considers him a threat; 
it's not like he shows any intentions to invade the US. Europe maybe, 
but who cares...

Actually, even as a German, at this point I'm more worried about the 
potential future course of America than I'm afraid of Vlad Putin. (If I 
lived in the Ukraine - or anywhere closer to Russia than Poland, for 
that matter - that would be entirely different of course.)
