Stalin & Beria would be proud of the new Premier since the scheming snake is carrying on the ruthless liquidation process of those who know too much.

The Russian supporting public will only have themselves to blame for the coming wrath inflicted on the 'Motherland' because of Putin's power mad actions.

Yes, defeating the Chechen Mujahideen is "mad".

Instituting a 15% flat tax is "mad".

Stopping the massive theft of natural wealth from being offshored is "mad".

Reforming a millitary that was on the brink of collapse is "mad".

Restoring national pride is "mad".

I wouldn't think Soros to be a kegebun. His role in the orange revolution, for example, could only be ascribed to an anti-kegebun person. Whomever else he might be carrying water for, it does not look like putinoids.

"Mad" - And so were one Hitler's actions in '33-'38. Restoring pride, [everyone noticed that much], clearing up the economic mess, strengthening and reforming the military and so on. When the civilization, in furtherance of which these actions are undertaken, is crappy - then so are the actions.

Are you saying that Putin=Hitler? I see no reason to believe this.

What I am saying is that in the civilizational sense [i.e. what he stands for] putin is worse.

How so? He stands for a strong Russia, against the Mujahideen (whom he defeated), is briging back the Russian Orthodox church to prominence, and is about to rehabiliate Tsar Nicholas II, plus has taken a very strong stand against theft and tax evasion by criminals.

"Yes, defeating the Chechen Mujahideen is "mad".

First that drunken stew bum Yetsin and now KGB Putin have only made the situation even worse. Now the bloody Russians have their own Vietnam. Recall those Kremlin commies were supplying the North Vietnamese Reds, and now Moscow is paying the price in a no win war (over natural gas & oil). Reciprocity in motion.

"Instituting a 15% flat tax is "mad"."

Sure it's wonderful when only the Russian mafia crooks running the country really benefit.

"Stopping the massive theft of natural wealth from being offshored is "mad"."

Just great...Putin's Russian version of Opec. He is now able to hold additional nations hostage with natural gas pipelines in the dead of winter. You agree?

"Reforming a military that was on the brink of collapse is "mad"."

Mad to the extreme, Putin's neo-Soviet Empire is a larger threat then the old version of the Evil Empire.

"Restoring national pride is "mad"."

Someone else did that and triggered World War II. You must recall his name, he was very similar to Col Putin = Adolph Hitler.

Evil Empire Part II

Since you have clearly demonstrated a very strong desire to promote "Putin's Paradise", how about relocating there - real soon and broadcast direct from Moscow?

Imbeciles!!! Don't you know his highness Putin enjoys a much ballyhooed approval rating of 75%.

You will therefore not for one minute cast doubtsky upon his integrity.

Actually it's 78%

Something's a little fishy when one gets such a high fraction of the vote...

Did you know that George Soros funded the anti-Chavez candidate in Venezuela, and that Soros funds Falun Gong in China???

The guy is all over the map in who he funds.

Well, if what you wrote is true [it's news to me], then it would be few more examples of positive actions by Soros. Being hostile to the pineapple chavez, or to the chinese autocrats, are all positive things.

This is a fundamental validity denial for the civilization represented by a "strong russia". Based on what it has always been, it is, and would be, a hell on earth. Barbari sunt, barbarice egit. And BTW, gestapo also used to take a very strong stand against theft and criminals.

Considering the fact that the Chechen Mujahideen have been defeated and peace has been restored with many of the Chechens having switched side and are now under the control of Moscow, and with al-Qaida terrorist Shamil Basayev dead, I have to ask where you are getting your information from?

Sure it's wonderful when only the Russian mafia crooks running the country really benefit.

You mean Berezovsky, Gusinsky, Nevzlin, and Khodorovsky? They're all either in exile or in jail where they all belong.

Just great...Putin's Russian version of Opec. He is now able to hold additional nations hostage with natural gas pipelines in the dead of winter. You agree?

Why shouldn't Russia control its own natural wealth? Should American natural wealth be controlled by outsiders? Of course not.

Mad to the extreme, Putin's neo-Soviet Empire is a larger threat then the old version of the Evil Empire.

Nonsense. Russia hasn't made any moves like the Soviets did in Afghanistan, in Poland, Hungary, etc.

Someone else did that and triggered World War II. You must recall his name, he was very similar to Col Putin = Adolph Hitler.

So by your logic, national pride is "Hitlerian". Is that your position?

So in your view, having a tough position against theft and criminality is "gestapo-like"?

So the reverse must be true too: Yeltsin support was in single digits. The favorite of West - Irina Khakamada won the whooping 3.85% in 2004 presidential elections. Very, very fishy indeed!

That's your opinion and you're entitled to it. After the disastrous Yeltin years, Putin has been a God-send for Russia.
