Putin is a man's man and a patriot, whereas 0bama is a closet homosexual from a foreign country.
These reasons are among many why I respect Putin more.
Have you ever been to Russia or anywhere outside of the country?
It might shock you to learn that not everything works the same way in your little world you see on CNN.
He is a Russian.
Case closed.
Putin is heterosexual...
That’s a out it.
That’s ABOUT it. ( Stupid iPhone )
Evil wears many faces and lies. It always lies.
check it out, she’s an acrobat, did you think I was saying otherwise?
Well put.
I'm not sure Putin really is authentically religious, but who can say?
The same cannot be said about Obama, nor for hundreds of other politicians who are selling out America's interests, and instead represent the interests of alien peoples, ideologies, and religions.
Putin is no friend to the US, he is a geopolitical adversary (not an enemy like the Soviets were, but an adversary). He's only good for America as an example of somebody who at least cultivates the image of representing his nation and his people's interests. Hence the admiration, or at least respect, from some circles.
It takes a thug to keep order in places like Russia. Yeltsin allowed a lot more personal and political liberty under his watch, and the country descended into chaos. Military dictatorships and thuggish autocrats were the only ways to keep or restore order in places like Chile (Pinochet), Iran (the Shah), Egypt (Mubarak), etc. If having corrupt and thuggish strongmen is the alternative to chaos, civil war, or mob rule in those places, so be it. That doesn't mean it would work or be desirable in the western world.
Russia’s economy is in the crapper, so to keep the people distracted, he started all of this anti-homo stuff.
He isn’t doing it out of some deep spiritual belief, he’s doing it to keep the populous concentrated on the jangle of shiny gay keys, so they wont try that democracy jazz he hates so much and try to get him out of office again.
Our media mirror the old govt. USSR media, Pravda. While it is true that Russia has reopened its churches and lightened up a bit, the truth is Putin IS ex KGB and has destroyed every challenge to his power.
I have always wanted to see Russia, but have not been there.
Again, what did you mean by your snide post? By the way, I do not now, nor have I ever watched CNN or the alphabet stations. I do not agree with their take on anything. I read most of my news on the internet and watch a little Fox, even tho the supposed "conservative commentators" let the libs talk all over them and O'R has to be the biggest bloviator on the planet.
vaudine
I have thought exactly the same thing for at least a few years now. It's ironic that the only place Americans can get genuine, trustworthy news is from the foreign press, especially the UK. I take anything I hear from America's Democrat "mainstream" newsrooms with a big grain of salt.
>>>Russias economy is in the crapper, so to keep the people distracted, he started all of this anti-homo stuff.<<<
Well, they have issues and challenges but the reality is Russian economy was never in such a good shape for a thousand year as it is now.
Just 20 years ago they had an economic power of Zimbabwe, but this month World Bank has moved Russia ahead of Germany as a #5 global economy.
Average Russian household is on par with of Mississipi’s or Idaho’s now and it is a huge improvement to pre-Putin era.
Like I said...
Our own communist infiltrated State Dept. tried to hijack the Russian elections for their comrades in the Communist Party with non-profit NGOs just like they do here in the USA.
Just because you hate Putin is no excuse to suck up to the communists running our government.
Putin won his election.

Margaret trumps Putin, Zer0, Bush 2, Clinton, Bush 1. Margaret equal to Reagan.
As Churchill trumped FDR and Truman.
