Putin is a persecutor and murderer of Christians just like the EVIL EMPIRE he loyally served and misses.
Can you provide any kind of link? Wikipedia has a write-up
on him that is very favorable. His approval rating is in the 60s and the Russian people apparently like him. They say he has brought patriotism back the country, and needed economic reforms. His policies are every bit as conservative as the GOP. Maybe more so. I was wrong when I said he was head of the KGB. He was an agent, and retired as Lt Colonel.
