Sure, if you don't count Putin's support of pretty much every world enemy we have - whom he either funds, protects at the UN, etc.
Putin's Russia is a pretty big fan and supporter of socialist Venezuela, communist Cuba, Islamist Iran's effort to become a nuclear state, and the list just goes on and on.
Also he just had a hand in shooting down a civilian airliner by at minimum providing the heavy anti-air weapons and/or training necessary to accomplish this. And before you defend him with cries of "no proof", this follows Putin's seizing the Crimea from the Ukraine while all the way claiming its forces weren't in that territory at all (which was a laughable lie).
I don't get you Putinista's? Is it the gay thing? Is that it? He opposes the homosexual agenda and you think that is enough to warrant your support? You know who else opposes the homosexual agenda? Countries like Iran and pretty much every other backward Islamist hellhole from Africa through the Middle East. So they get one thing right, even the worst countries in the world do a few things that a person could point to and say "well, at least that is right", or "at least that works".
You are lending support to Putin, a guy who thinks the greatest tragedy of modern times it he collapse of the communist Soviet Union. I wonder what Reagan would think of your support of Putin, considering all the blood and treasure he spent destroying the very thing Putin bemoans was lost.
You have a point regarding Iran, but we’re not any better there, refusing to take action and tying Israel’s hands. So, yes, he could be better.
As far as the other despots go, I don’t see much different in our hemisphere than when Bush was president...same dictators...no effort to get rid of them.
The airliner - that system has been deployed since 1979. Ukraine DEFINITELY had it when the Soviet Union broke up. It’s VERY POSSIBLE that the rebels (who are former soldiers) had their own when they broke away. I’m just not jumping to conclusions yet on this one.
By the way, the Middle East would be a MUCH BETTER place right now for Christians, if Putin’s, rather than Hillary’s, policies had been followed.
“this follows Putin’s seizing the Crimea from the Ukraine”
This sounds pretty good if you WILLINGLY forget that a violent coup happened in Kiev immediately before that. One thing leads to another.
” don’t get you Putinista’s? Is it the gay thing? Is that it”
What is with the insults? Can’t defend your position without Jr. High-level name calling? Since when was that allowed on FR?
Most of us understand that Putin is a cold, calculating SOB. A Cold, Calculating SOB who has been enabled by Obama’s incompetence and weakness. Both Palin and Romney tried to warn people like you what was out there, but you chose Obama, instead.
That doesn’t mean you get to forget the facts of this situation, or get to throw around childish insults.
Excellent post to blind backyard Boob...ahh Bob
