Our Pootie lovers will get over this news pretty damned quick.
Yes, it’s true. I remember reading in history how the Stalin admirers could justify everything he did. If he made a pact with Hitler, it was okay. If he crushed the peasants, it was okay. It was the same for the working class. So now we have a thug, really a no good son of a bitch, who oppressed the Russian people as a KGB agent when the Gulag was in full operating condition. He takes advantage of his police state skills to rise to power. He manipulates and even kills journalist. He jails opponents. And there are bozos here on this conservative site who seem as a cool dude despite the fact that he’s an obvious autocrat and an expatiationistic chauvinist. Did any of these newfangled “conservatives” who admire Putin ever read Solzhenitsyn? I doubt it. They’re our version of the low information voter.
