For sure.
I wonder if it would be on youtube? I will look.
I think the same basic idea has been stated many times over the centuries
Did he really say that? In Russian, of course. That reads like what a Clint Eastwood character would say.
The kicker would be if Putin held a pistol straight up, fired it, then made the quote, after making the quote, he nonchallantly blows the gun smoke away.
That quote has been around since there has been a Marine Corps (240 years and probably more).
Putin is a POS dictator but he commands respect even if he is ruthless in the classic Soviet way.
If Putin is made of steel, President Ovomit is made of wet toilet paper...
Prime Minister David Cameron, saying it was “more likely than not†that “a terrorist bomb†had destroyed the airliner, suspended regular British flights to Sharm el-Sheikh while taking steps to bring home some 20,000 British tourists stranded there. The governments of VladiÂmir Putin in Moscow and Abdel Fatah al-Sissi in Cairo reacted indignantly.
Obama has made Putin into a hero, who probably polls higher than Obama, in the USA. You can’t find an Obama poll number any more. Of course, under normal circumstances, and if we had a real president, Putin and the US opinion of him would be under the floor over the Ukraine.
I think you framed it perfectly. I despise Putin for the corrupt, despotic-minded creature that he is. But I also acknowledge and respect the fact that he is one of the strongest and most capable leaders on the world stage today. It is indeed a stark contrast to the weakest foreign policy leadership America has seen in the modern era. Not even Carter was as feckless and lost as Obama has been, I think.
What are you on? Ukrainians are not muslims! In fact Ukraine sent 1650 troops to help in Iraq.
1) He's a bumbling, inexperienced, naive, community organizer, leftist with an incorrect world view and a fatal agenda led by radicals who do not learn from their early mistakes.
2) (And I did not want to believe this theory), that he is a Manchurian Candidate acting at the behest of others who wish to destroy American power, prestige & influence in the world. Rip America apart on all fronts, racial, economic, social and political. In other words, divide and weaken the nation. This was his plan all along and he has succeeded very much so.
If we judge him on what he says, we wind up with a mixed bag of confusing statements and results. If we judge him based on his actions, it looks far more sinister than anything Jimmy Carter may have done or fumbled at doing.
It is my hope (not change) that he just does not have a clue but my gut tells me he's working for the Muslim Brotherhood...
Wonderful statement! And he’s started doing it too. Whatever other considerations or concerns I have about Putin, and I do, more power to him sending as many of the enemy to Hell as he can!
You know, legally Putin could be made Speaker of the House. There is no requirement the Speaker be a member of the House, it can be anyone.
Wouldn’t that be a scenario!
You’re right
Putin has good relations with the Russian church and Jewish organizations too....those that support Russian culture
Of course the Russian Jewish Oligarch gangsters who were mostly former commie bureaucrats who glommed their former departments as their own fiefdoms
He purged them.....all but one
It was a nationalistic thing to do and bolstered his friends
This is Russia after all
I think Putin and president Crump or Truze can destroy Daesh
At least for this era
USMC 6Jan59-31Dec62 - saying was Kill them all; let God sort them out.
Well, that's what the Kremlin said when it invaded Ukraine. It also said the same when it invaded Georgia. It most likely will say the same when it invades Vatican City. And you will fall for it. Again.
So he was baptized into the KGB at a younger age than most of us thought.
100% spot on.
Emotion tells us he is a fool because of everything he says.
Logic tells us otherwise.
According to wikipedia Ukraine has 0.6% muslims. USA has 0.9%.
The premise that Russia is invading Ukraine to fight muslims is ridiculous.
Putin’s Christianity is a myth his PR team created when Putin had to suck up to Bush. In 2001 Putin was just inserted into power by Yeltsin and not only did he not have a firm control over Russia the oil was also only $25 a barrel. This is the state that he was in when he met the president of the most powerful country of the world.
