This guy isn't western.
He's not modernized.
He's not moderate.
He doesn't care about the West.
He's not compassionate.
He is using GLASNOST
And people in the West.. faced with such a weak leader as Obama.. are eating it up.
Putin is a DICTATOR! He is NOT.. I repeat NOT our friend. He isn't a friend of the West.
Every Soviet leader has used this "polishing" trick going back to Ivan the Terrible.
PUTIN IS KGB.

Tired of seeing people on FR laud how ‘great’ of a leader Putin is.
Yea a few do that. They post funny. I bet they walk funny too.

Putin is a thug to be sure. But he actually does grasp the concept of national interests which Zero clearly does not. I also think some people on here need to be reminded that he is NOT the president of the United States. He is the president of Russia. His job is to look out for and protect Russian national interests. And yes, there will be times when those interests diverge from our own. But I would certainly say that he has a clearer grasp of the immediate threats facing the West than our spineless wonder. Islamo-Facism, Radical secularism, and moral relativism to name just a few. Is he an enlightened liberal? Ummm no. And he doesn’t say “please” when addressing Islamic thugs either. But when has Russia ever been successfully run by a democratic government? Russia is a different geo-political animal than America with a vastly different history and culture. Unlike some on here, there is no way I’d every vote for this guy as our President. But I do respect him as the leader of Russia, warts and all.

I linked to a site on the internet, and it shows in the thread on my computer. The problem is on your end, my FRiend.
Just a Captain Obvious graphic.

But as you know, any discussion that notes negatives about Putin must be made about Obama. How else can Putin hide beneath the radar?

Exactly.
Putin USES Obama to make himself look good and Westernized.
It’s all GLASNOST.

I agree. Putin and his fans do not care about Western conservative values. He doesn't value the rule of law. He doesn't value separation of powers. He doesn't value a free press. He doesn't value an independent judiciary. He doesn't value a free press, freedom of speech, freedom of religion or freedom of assembly. His supporters on FReeRepublic takes consolation in the fact that he's a putative nationalist and a nominal christian despite his many years a communist and 17 years as KGB man. I don't get it.
I realize that they're right on one thing. He's not Obama. Who is? Why would you worship or cheer for an anti-American president for life unless you disdain the USA?

Soviets butchered more Ukrainians than Hitler butchered Jews. Difference is that the Ukrainians had a choice, the Jews didn't.
Thousands of Jews were permitted to leave Russia for Israel, Hitler would have had them starved and then gassed. Big difference.
Putin was elected by the whole country, Stalin was selected by the communist party, ~5% of the country. Big difference.

That’s what I always thought, from the moment I first heard about him and his background.

You do realize that the Soviets starved to death millions of Ukrainians in the 30's, right?

Yes, Putin's bipartisan fans are commies who hijack threads and generally make a lot noise in political speech. They're anti-defense, because they want to keep the pork flowing to their salaries and benefits instead of defense.
