Why would you support the expert Communist in the Kremlin when you can't stand the rookie Communist in the White House?
Boehner makes me want to vomit. So There!
All of those politicians who support us becoming involved in Syria’s civil war are nauseating and insult the intelligence of the American people.
because Putin is no commie. He’s far right of most gop politicians
McCain and Graham screaming for an investigation on Benghazi just means they’re looking at a way of deflecting blame from their scumbag selves.
I haven’t forgotten their cheerleading to go into Libya.
The day has actually arrived when the President of Russia is respected by a very significant percentage of the American people more than the current President of the United States. People follow leaders. It would be chilling if a legitimate poll was conducted.
People just never followed Russian politics, I suppose . . . until they saw some random AP headline regarding homo marriage. I will tell you this, the people who "respect" Putin deserve someone like him, and not an acolyte such as Obama.
I almost wanted to vomit?!?! WTH kind of response is that? What a bunch of losers.
You've really never heard of the KGB? Really?
America is exceptional, not because of blood, skin color, foreign policy, or military. America is exceptional because for a long time (til recently) they were the Free-ist country on earth
I’ve only seen bits and pieces of Putin’s op ed (and that’s my fault, I admit it). I’ve also seen bits and pieces of the American ruling class vomiting all over it. That may be my fault but I can only stomach so much.
It still does not change the key facts here:
Russia has a competent leader who knows the national interests of his country and is pursing them aggressively.
America is ruled by an incompetent narcissist, whom the voter of average intellect should have known is unqualified for the office.
KGB? Like CIA? You think all CIA members are capitalist or something? Look at Putin’s economic policies
from wiki
During Putin’s eight years in office, industry grew by 76%, investments increased by 125%,[17] and agricultural production and construction increased as well. Real incomes more than doubled and the average monthly salary increased sevenfold from $80 to $640.[15][18] From 2000 to 2006 the volume of consumer credit increased 45 times[136][137] and the middle class grew from 8 million to 55 million. The number of people living below the poverty line decreased from 30% in 2000 to 14% in 2008.[17][138]
In 2001, Putin, who has advocated liberal economic policies, introduced a flat tax rate of 13%;[139][140] the corporate rate of tax was also reduced from 35 percent to 24 percent;[139] Small businesses also get better treatment. The old system with high tax rates has been replaced by a new system where companies can choose either a 6-percent tax on gross revenue or a 15-percent tax on profits.[139] The overall tax burden is lower in Russia than in most European countries.[141]
It’s still a gas-and-oil economy. Oil prices or yields fall, and Russia is in trouble.
And I forgot to mention: the day you hear that Obama is collaborating with Putin on policy issues (setting aside this farce about Syria and the issue of homo marriage), is the day our Republic ends.
While I agree that most of Russia’s current wealth is due to resource sector. Thats no different to Norway, Australia or Canada. The fact is, Putin run a low tax government. Other sectors will take some time to grow
Blame the Nancy Boy in the White House.
Putin is a back alley bully and Obama is a pussy with rich, powerful friends- it’s a classic match up.
Don’t vomit you silly boys. Threaten to kick Putin’s butt. That will have him quaking in his boots.
If there's globalism it causes wealth and power to flow upwards away from nations and their inhabitants.
In the long run if globalism collapses, (after a period of transition), who suffers except the globalists?
This is where I am at the thought stage. I really don't know enough to have a positive view.
