But.....but.....I thought Putin was a Communist, or at least that's what plenty of FReepers tell me.
Yeah. What a joke.
Potty poot is a Russian tribal boss, what westerners call a gangster.
But that’s how Russia works. They’re still a tribe, 1000 years later.
But he’s at least a clan leader interested in seeing his tribe prosper, if only to increase his own net worth.
I’ve spent enought time there now to understand them, and this is how I see it. It’s not the world I want to live in, but from their perspective, it’s better than what they had. A prosperous feudal state is more acceptable than a run down, desperate, murderous collectivist state.
At least the beautiful Russian women are having families again. Maybe in another generation they can get past the gangsta-government gig.
