Ok, that molotov thing threw me. But please explain what i said that was factually incorrect? yes, he nationalized their oilfilds. In England, the crown owns all oil gas and coal. Is that incorrect?
He has promoted Christianity at every turn when he has the chance. I suppose it could be some Byzantine plot to trick us all. But at some point,, every action seems to back upwhat he says about promoting Orthodoxy. He pushes it into Russian life when it was there before 1917. Is that incorrect?
He has been strictly opposed to homosexuality. Gay parades are banned in moscow for 100 years. In ST Petersburg you can be arrested for promoting homosexuality. Is that incorrect?
He has opposed Soros, and fiat currencies.
The national tax rate is 13% no deductions or filing.Is this incorrect?

Just because it feels wrong, it always isnt. It’s really ok to think. I know it’s great loss that we aren’t arrayed across the Fulda Gap anymore. But to them, it’s mystifying that we are stuck in the 80s when it comes to dealing with them.
Im not sure what left wing policies you are referring to. But as you are also worried that fewer than 10 Cossacks are about to oppress the innocents in Moscow, whew,,,

That doesn’t excuse it. Not when “the crown” in the UK nationalizes either (remember British Leyland? or British Rail?); it’s all leftism and it does not work. How about Amtrak in the USA? Trying to justify any of that kind of stuff in any sense accuses the positions of people like Thatcher and Reagan to be invalid.

A politician promoting Christianity is always suspect, especially over there. The USA never had a state religion; those countries have had state religions for centuries, even millennia when you go back before Christianity. The USA is not the same as they are—the emphasis out of the Founding Fathers was on private morality. Putin is giving the Orthodox church state aid, to boot.

Is it good when Putin’s bombers fly over Alaska as well?
