Russkie capitalism consists of Putin becoming one of the richest men on the planet, and spending that money in places other than Russia.

Only Time could manage to criticize both Reagan and Putin at the same time.

Perhaps National Review could run the following headline

“Obama’s Pen And phone: Why Americans Adore Their Nancy Boy Bin Laden”

I remember when it was a real magazine.

I know, I’m old.

“Why do you support a system of government that is so weak?”

Who said that we support it?

Putin could only wish that he was the great man that Reagan was. Putin is a KGB punk.

Putin will not stop until he has complete control of the North Shore of the Black Sea, and a wide buffer corridor for rapid access to it.

Putin’s primary hope is that Boehner will not Impeach Obama before he can annex the North Shore of the Black Sea.

“Putin’s Power: Why Russians Adore Their Bare-Chested Reagan”

Only the ignorant punks at Time Magazine and the rest of the MSM would compare Putin to Reagan, No one should even use their names in the same sentence.

Putin was head of the KGB and a committed Communist. Reagan stopped the spread of Communism and helped end their power and influence.

Reagan described the Communist state as an evil empire.

They could not be more different.

I wonder if Putin, allows his country to be totally overrun with tens of millions of illegal aliens, during war time, while forcing his people to pay for all of it?

“Putin was head of the KGB”

Putin was never head of the KGB.

The highest he ever got was Deptuty Chief of the International Affairs section at Leningrad State University.

There is so much false info out there about Putin, it’s just nuts.

No, but similar to Obama, Putin loves the last hope for freedom, the US being overrun by tens of millions illegals.

It may not make much difference to Russian opinions, but if FIFA withdraws the World Cup from Russia in 2018 as a result of this misadventure in Ukraine, it might start to change things. This is what should happen, we’ll see if it does happen. Then they could take the 2022 World Cup away from the places that are far too hot in the Persian Gulf.

Probably not a big interest item to Americans, but as Europeans are always being asked to take the lead, this would be one example of what they could do.
