Twenty-nine percent of respondents chose Putin as their person of the year, 16% picked German Chancellor Angela Merkel, 15% Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, 3% Islamic State leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, 2% Pope Francis, 2% US President Barack Obama and 33% said they did not know.

And why not? Putin has befriended BiBi while Obama has abandoned him. Its a sad state of affairs. 12 more months.

Israel’s are not worried about Assad staying in power.
Putin is putting the hurt down on Israel’s , Jordan’s, Egypts enemies right now.

The enemy of my enemy is my Man of the Year.

And Compared to Obama at least Putin shows leadership

Vladimir Putin does demand and get respect, in just about everything he says or does.

So he’s a martinet and has an enormous ego. The Yul Brynner persona wears well on him.

Vlad does not shave his head, but he could.

I was sad to see that one of our Freepers has a tagline that expresses hope that what’s left of Putin be scraped off the ceiling of his limo.

Sad but not surprising. If you look at thecrew’s post histories you will find the majority are devout lesser evil/no matter what types that back fully the GOP supporting Obama. Naturally they oppose anyone opposing Obama’s view of things.

In short, they are liberals. Putin is far from a nice guy. He’s a POS. But Putin is doing the job our liberals will not and should be at least respected for his contribution to eradicating at least part of the muslim problem.

Putin — so far — is treating Jerusalem fairly. Obama means death to the Israelis. They’ve seen Muslim “murder eyes” before, they see the enemy’s face every day in fact. Even some of the leftist-bloc Israelis recognized its better to keep Bibi’s government awhile (which they don’t like politically) than to let Obama destroy them, their little country, and their families -

And in Europe they still support the “refugees” and incursion into Western Civilization of every foe of Western Civilization.

Of course, these are the JINOs, who are communists/socialists first and who consider Christian Europe to be their greatest threat.

I'm a collector of band shirts and have some from Russia. After Putin invaded Ukraine, I had to "keep them in the closet." In recent months, with Putin looking more and more like the protector of the free (non-Islamic) world, I've started wearing them again.

“I was sad to see that one of our Freepers has a tagline that expresses hope that what’s left of Putin be scraped off the ceiling of his limo.”

Why? I just laugh at their angry impotence and utter irrelevance.

This cannot be true!

I was told, unequivocally, on this very board, that Putin hates Israel and is in Syria to get to Israel, which he plans on bombing and destroying.

Shazzam, another one bites the dust.

No correlation. The majority of US Jews are either areligious or belong to the Reform or Conservative (misnomer; it’s liberal) schools of thought.

And don’t forget the plethora of nominal Christians who voted for Obama.
