Nostalgic for the oligarchy.

[MrEdd]

If Russia and China were both suddenly sucked into another dimension like a cheap science fiction movie, Europe would still be wholly in the grip of communism.

Pay better attention to what the EU functionally is.

I'll say it again, Putin is the best ruler Russia has ever had since Tsar Peter and Bork Obunga is the worst ruler any advanced state has ever had since Nero. Russians were literally starving when Putin took over and they no longer are. He has saved the world from the green/Malthusian scheme to crush all of the world's economies for the glory of Gaea. He has prevented Bork Obunga from starting a world war in Syria and he has made it a major piece of Russian policy to protect Christians in the world; Christianity would have no home in Syria were the lunatics our own government supports to take that place over.

Naturally enough when you fix as many problems as this guy has, you make a lot of enemies and there is a lot of bullshit floating around, such as the little piece of stupidity you just posted.

Something seems to be true in this video but authors are leberals and it’s showing.
What is an alternative to Putin’s regime in Russia? What makes Putin’s Russia worse than any of their previous regimes?
You are certainly out of touch with reality if you think Russia is ready to live under Jefferson’s ideas right now too.

[RushIsMyTeddyBear]

I know exactly what you mean. I lived in the UK for almost a decade. Socialism/Communism is certainly welcomed.

My read?
Putin is a thug; always was; always will be. He IS a true son of Russia. He's on top because he's a bigger, smoother, meaner and smarter thug, that's all.
He happens to be on our side these days so we LIKE Mr. Thug Putin. We like smooth; it helps us forget the meaner part.
THINK what he had to be to get to the top of Thugville.

[cloudmountain]

HAHAHAHA!!
Thanks! That was a GOOD laugh to end 2013!!

He’s doing what he’s supposed to do: He’s working to make Russia strong and to look after the interests of Russia and Russians. He really ought to give no consideration to what outsiders think of him. That’s what real leaders do.

I just finished watching that last night. Very good documentary on him.

Here’s another good one on his rise to power.

Unfortunately, you are right but it does make a difference about how the US perceives him and how they react to his actions. To the US, he is a thug but to his country, he is an artful leader...so, to each their own... Leadership has many thorns...

[PAR35]

Putin’s no communist.

[cunning_fish]

Bashing Putin and naming him communist is all about that.
Putin is less communist than every democrat and half of “conservatives” in US Congress.
Empty criticism is a liberal sport. If one don’t like Bush, Putin etc he has to point what exactly was made wrong by said individuals and say, show or do it the proper way (if one is able which most liberals don’t).

[Navy Patriot]

First out of the box is Nina Krucheva, Nikita's grand daughter and a bigger Communist, albeit Progressive Communist, than "we will bury you" was. Like the others, she is sore that she didn't have the Moxie to take control of Russia like Putin has.

Russian Progressives are pretty much the same as American Progressives, they're mad because Putin was mean to the Belsan School perpetrators terrorist groups and their supporters, plus he actually made the Chechen military hunt and kill Chechen terrorists.

Happy New Year, fish! Already 2014 there isn’t it?

[Revolting cat!]

Well said. The game played here is calling anyone you dislike a ‘Communist’, when there haven’t been true believer Communists in Russia in at least 30 years. The Communists, or if you like Marxist-Leninists are all at American Universities and in the media, and not only American, but everywhere that Communism has not been experienced. Marxism-Leninism is spent in Russia and in Eastern Europe, and has been for a long time. The ignorance and name calling when it comes to Putin is astounding. No, he isn’t a clone of Mr Rogers, and neither is he a Stalin, but as someone asked above, who else in Russia can lead the country? Where is their Thomas Jefferson?

In the meantime, a true believer in some secular version of Marxism-Leninism, that he’ll never call by its name, sits as we speak in the Western White Hut on the island of Oahu.

Nice to see you, Patriot! Yes, it is.

Putin is Russia's leader. He's done well for them, and probably better than any one else who was in play. He's not the best thing to ever happen to the US or EU. Then again, he doesn't work for us, he works for Russia. As a person, he is one of the more interesting political figures on the global stage.

I am intrigued by Russian politics, post-USSR. I'd like to see an analysis of the technical or theoretical rights and the practical rights afforded average people in Russia vs. the same in the US. I still here people my parents’ age saying, “What is this, Russia”. No, you can smoke in a bar in Russia, and they export all the natural gas they can dig up.

This isn't your grandpa's Russia. May not be our friend. But don't get mired in the Cold War past.
