Putin’s economic policies are centralized state control and corruption with defunct economy riding on oil and gas revenues. It is a mafia state. In Heritage economic freedom index Russia is ranked as “mostly unfree” at 140th place in the world out of 178.
Stop confusing Putinistas with facts.
The contrast is: Russia is an oligarchy with no love for Islam or homosexual activism.
America is an oligarchy with lots of passion for Islam and homosexual activism, indoctrinating the world about Islam as a “religion of peace” and imposing the homosexual agenda around the world.
