[Revolting cat!]

Some people just want to let us know that they can parrot the line they heard somewhere, and think we’ve never heard it 1,000 times, and that it is their own original thought: “Putin is a KGB thug”. Yawn!

[Jim from C-Town]

Except for the fact that Putin has a history of thuggery and corruption. He has a history of invading former satellite countries and killing tens of thousands. He has a history of murdering political enemies. The fact that he gives lip service to protecting Christianity is more BS than anything else. He also pays lip service to the greatness of Islam.

‘Many of Putin's actions are regarded by the domestic opposition and foreign observers as undemocratic.[5] The 2011 Democracy Index stated that Russia was in “a long process of regression [that] culminated in a move from a hybrid to an authoritarian regime” in view of Putin's candidacy and flawed parliamentary elections,[6] and American diplomatic cables leaked by WikiLeaks allege that Russia has become a “virtual mafia state.”[7][8] Some critics describe him as a dictator’

Putin Is a thug. KGB, Plutocrat, Fascist or otherwise. He is a known Corruptocrat! Just because you are bored in hearing it, doesn't mean it isn't true.

Putin congratulates Russian Muslims on Eid al-Fitr holiday - August 8, 2013 - “The Muslim community in Russia participates actively in the life of the country, makes a unique contribution in the upbringing of young people and the development of inter-confessional dialogue. Certainly, their activity promotes the maintenance of interethnic peace and civil accord in the society,” Putin noted in the congratulatory message.
