I will say one thing in his defense and that is he is definitely not a girly man. His forearms and his hands tell me he didn’t spend his life behind a desk and his eyes tell me he would probably use those hands to break your neck if he felt like it. He’s evil

Well, he had people killed.....so yes.

He does have good taste in handguns though.....

Yeah, I always swoon over man-boobs. Not. Even more intriguing if Putin has taken to draping himself in the style of New York “hipsters.”

"This guy has some "issues."

Indeed. He desperately needs some sun, which he is probably trying to get.

Sheesh, why do you have to extrapolate a homosexual angle to this? Does everything have to be filtered through the American obsession with homosexuality.

Sheer image building wise, the pix contrast well with well, the effete leaders of the “West” and are prolly effective is reinforcing the image of strength and virility inside the Rodina.

And with the cross, what’s he, a homosexual Nationalist Orthodox former KGB officer now President of Russia?

Plus, Russia has a flat tax, an economy that has, despite Biden’s brayings, a govt share of the GDP at a similar level to that of America.

I didn't. It's in the TimesOnline article dude.

I even put it in red and bold.

"What's that around his neck, a cross?"

Now THAT is odd. Who knew Putin was a closet Christian? Maybe it's a swastika. The picture isn't very clear. He's actually a closet Nazi.

He looks a little pudgy around the middle and chest. Can’t say as I see ‘rippled’ muscles anywhere.

Maybe we'll see a headline about how he died in Thailand of auto-erotic asphyxiation some day.

Obama and Putin up on broke back mountain, getting a little sun and working out some “issues”

>>I even put it in red and bold.

Exactly. You did.

Frankly, makes my point, the paper is UK, the writer a Brit, part of the “West” and as such, had to throw the gay icon angle there. Maybe he is, maybe he isn’t, I don’t know, and really don’t care, doubt Putin does either.

But in the new paradigm of the West, we put them on a pedestal and filter all through that prism.

Beats the hell out of a beer summit where in the best spirit of modern America, a photo-op where no one even drank beer.

Putin’s actually riding and hunting in the Great Outdoors.
A Teddy Roosevelt persona for modern Russia.

Joe Biden did. The clip I saw just showed the cop and the racist staring at each other while Biden ran his mouth, tossed some nuts in it, then sipped his beer. The Messiah's mouth was running too, but being a silent movie clip, who knows what he was saying.

I guess we need Sue Thomas and her wonderdog Levi to interpret.
