I don’t need an education from you and your spam posts full of errors. I long ago decided to ignore them because they’re so full of misinformation.

A lot of folks who gravitate to politics like power.

A lot of folks who like power gravitate to politics.

Wait, that’s the same thing isn’t it.

Never mind.

When you can imprison your opposition leaders, it is amazing how much freedom you have.

'Xactly.

Bammy and the US are not all that different from Putin and Russia, except Pouty-Pout seems to actually like his Country.

Lol. It would be funny, wouldn't it, if this dope attempted to do it.

Thanks again for the links. Too bad we have morons among us that actually think Putin is an ok guy. I doubt there’s much if anything we can do to help these fools.

Pouty-Pout seems to actually like his Country.

Pouty-Pout leads Russia like a tyrant, stomping on his political opposition. And that's if they're 'lucky'. Many of ended up pushing up daisies.

The schmuck just had his little feelings hurt. So he's reacting like a weasel by trying to undermine what I do, despite the fact that damn near all of what I post comes from top notch sources, and/ or is an important reminder of something most of us already knew, or were at least somewhat familiar with at the time. That's all.

My goal is to put things in historical context. Also to provide convenient ammo for people to use to shove down the throats of lefties and other misguided types such as we obvious have here, as we do on most of these Russia-Putin threads. Not to leave out the lefty lurkers in the media who 'somehow' managed to miss most of these things at the time.

“How is Putin any different than Obama?” - Cowboy Bob

“He loves his country.” - TigersEye

How could he “love his country” when he behaves like a tyrant, silencing his political opposition by whatever means necessary, including poisoning and assassination.

[ETL]

He [KGB Putin] plays hard ball and doesn’t mind shedding blood of those he sees as traitors

Yeah, like all those political critics and journalists in the Russia media and elsewhere who just "vanished" from sight, or were found poisoned or shot. Is that really a type of leadership to be admired, particularly by people who supposedly believe in free speech?

[AllAmericanGirl44]

I do appreciate what you do and the info provided. I guess they didn’t want to answer my query and shed their insight.

Thanks

Still too stupid to see that 0bama is the butt of the joke?

Bite me, dipshit.

Here is an example. I very politely showed him an error before that in a post about Benghazi and he went ballistic. It took numerous posts back and forth to convince his stupid arse that I wasn't criticizing him I just wanted to help improve his post with accurate info which I supplied to him. He finally got it but not before acting like a five year old for half a dozen posts. After showing him the error I linked to above and getting no reply I gave up on him for good. This thread should amply illustrate the reason why.
